I bracketed shutter speed from 1/2 sec to 1/60 and this was my favorite. Lots of atmospheric haze, thermals, and cloud bands made it look gritty.

Bad Moon Rising.
With the moon at 300mm you can get some blur due to motion at anything over 1/60. I'd be more likely to bracket aperture or ISO or increase ISO and then keep 1/60 as the max shutter speed.

It does always suck when you're trying to get something like the moon with some landscape in the foreground, or clouds like your photo, or other stars. It's essentially impossible to get decent detail on the moon AND those other much dimmer items.
