Didn't mean to hurt your sensibility. Mine is of the same moon, but shot on 10/29, in TX. The reason mine isn't the same is because in your shot, the moon is obscured by clouds. Because of that, the AI isn't able to enhance your image, as it can only work on clear images. Your picture lacks massive amounts of detail and contrast, but is actually more honest. I took mine at dusk, and the sky was more violet, but it's pitch black in my picture.
I'm going to try some other things though, because there might be another possibility to how it works: as you're trying to keep steady to frame the picture at 50x, the camera AI recognizes the subject (the moon) before you press the shutter, and "pre-captures" the image before you press the shutter button, then applies its enhancements. If that theory is correct, then using a tripod should provide a much clearer image than the one I took by hand, and should even provide a clearer image in challenging conditions like the one you faced.
Anyway, something extra is going on, because this camera LOCKS the moon in the viewfinder at 50x zoom, even though you're still moving the camera around; that's impossible.
