What settings are you using, I have never been able to get great night shots with mine.

This shot was fully Auto, noticed the moon getting out of the car, grabbed the camera, braced myself alongside the car > zoomed in to full 60x and took the shot. I did reduce the saturation a little in Corel Aftershot Pro editor as the original was a little on the yellowish side.

Are you asking of the video or the photo?

Manual 1/600, f=4, gain 0dB, no filter, 1920x1080, 50fps. I don´t remember if I actually used the ND-filter in the film, but I know I tryed it. The camera has in built ND-filter in 3 steps. Very usefull sometimes, just use the switch.
It´s all film, no still from camera. The first part with the smaller moon is full zoom, the second part (bigger moon) I add x2 digital zoom, the last part is a frozen frame, in post, from the lsecond part of the film.
The Sony PXW-X70 can´t shoot stills.
