The most likely culprit is a reflection back from the lense to the back of the UV Filter. It appears your moonlight was so "hot" (bright) that it bounced off the lens onto the back of the filter and then got bounced forward again onto the sensor and recorded. Try another without the filter on.

Howdy,
Reset the ISO to 100, F stop probably ok and bracket at 30th 60th 100th sec.

Yep! Both ronjay and sarge hit the nail on the head! Reflection and too high of ISO and too long of a shutter speed.
I took a couple of quick shots this morning also. I shot at too large of an f-stop. I shot at 11 and 16 would have been better. They still came out OK, just not as crisp as I've taken before.

the moon also looks REALLY overexposed and so you can't see any detail in it. Try to shoot it at a much faster shutter speed. The sky will be blacker and the moon more properly exposed.

Try around shutter 160 aperture F10 Iso 200. I got some good shots using that as starting point.

Try taking any filters off, then set your ISO at 400, F-stop 9 to 11. If you don't have a tri-pod, lean up against something to steady yourself.
