You did a great job, I wasn't lucky enough to get clear skies and it's impossible to focus through clouds.

Infinity pre focus on auto focus lens can't be trusted for focus at all. You must manual focus for best results

An excellent first try at shooting the moon. Many people have focus difficulty with astronomy subjects. Some people will focus the camera and lens at an infinity distance while the sun is still up. Then they use some masking tape to hold the focus/zoom settings for later use that night.
The 55-200 is a good general lens. This is perhaps more of a test than this lens is capable of handling if you have higher expectations. But, you've got to decide if you are going to shoot telephoto pics more often (birds, sports, animals, the moon) to justify the purchase of a fixed focal length or longer zoom. Some of each are available in the used lens market at much lower prices than new. Be sure to check out third party tests for any of the older lenses you might be tempted to buy.
