I took this Moon photo (see below) in June of 2016 from my backyard through the trees... I took about 100 (?) photos as the Moon moved through the sky and I chose the best of the best after painstaking scrutiny. I also used some post processing to obtain the best image in my opinion... below is the EXIF data from the photo... and below that is the actual Moon shot...!!!

Nice shot of the moon.
One technique you can use with the Canon 6D is to take video of the moon, then use the Canon EOS Movie software to pull out all the individual frames. This will than allow you to stack the frames with a freeware program like RegiStax 6. Stacking 100's or even 1000's of frames can really reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulence. I have used this technique on the moon and planets. (see link below to a post I did awhile back for an example).
