Not so bad, actually. There are many details and some prominent craters can be seen. At the upper right, the flat dark (perfectly round) crater is called Plato. It has a diameter of 107 km, and looking at your image, I believe craters as small as 40km (in diameter) can be detected. So a pretty good resolution!

My first pictures of the Moon looked very similar. If you like taking such pictures, consider buying a used Canon with a T2 adapter. In total this should cost only around 130 Euro, and the quality of your pictures will improve drastically. This is a simple example, photographed through a 8' Newton telescope:
