No kidding, it had no problem sending crispy shots of Orion with a nice Earth rise, but behind a blurry dull moon.

Because the moon itself is dull, increasing the contrast would mean overexposing Orion. The camera is pretty good but it had to send live-ish footage travelling at a huge speed so they couldn't send all the data and the result was highly compressed.
