Update. It is done. The moon brightness, moon glow and size modifiers need some adjusting. But it works. Thank You @JoeProgram for pointing me in the right direction. Picture of solution is attached for someone else who has this problem.
edit: needed texture images with transparency, used imagemagick to get the montage of source images that had that
Tiff images with transparency source: NASA SVS | Moon Phase and Libration, 2021
Followed this tutorial then modified texture object bit (expand SkyAtmosphereImage node): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg2NaZcyAjk&list=PL5Rt3cak7KNGhjhIWZtx9wCjBn7HXex-l&index=4
