Didn't need to do any post-processing. Did a small crop.

Image Details:

It is always my goal to capture the moon in the earliest stage that I possibly can, after the night of the new moon, when it's invisible. Tonight's moon was on the second day post new, and so I was out making exposures, hoping to get a really good one. I was pleased at the level of detail here. I was also happy not needing any post-processing tools here.
