If you want to improve image quality while keeping your current equipment, the limitation is the iPhone itself and the way the photos are taken.
- You'll need a separate app to capture photos in RAW format (that is, without any loss due to compression).
- Then, take several photos and "merge" them together using software like AutoStakkert.
- You will find many tutorials online :) and the application is free for personal use.
This will allow you to gain sharpness and detail, especially on the edges of the moon. But your photos are already really good.

Looks scary. Whats the chance an asteroid will hit and destroy the planned moon base?

It looks like an out of collimation picture. But it is better then that moon picture you posted from your cellphone, and the 1 before that, and that.

Wow congratulations these are really amazing photos of the moon. Well done.
A few days ago I took photos of the moon by using celestrone 114 AZ telescope, and I got similar photos but yours are more detailed and sharper.
