Settings help on a moon shot

Hi everyone, I managed to capture this shot on the full moon, however couldnt really get the settings right so that the edges of the moon were sharper. this was taken right on dusk in that not quite day or night time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Image is original out of the camera image
canon 7d mkii 100 - 400 with 1.4 converter shot at F8 ISO 500 125 s @ 560mm

Hi Shayne,
I don't think that this effect comes from your camera settings. It might come from heat haze, especially at this large zoom. What was the temperature that day?
Cheers

thanks Sascha and Carlos. it was probably 27 in the late afternoon, we are just coming out of winter and has some hot days. never thought of heat haze. appreciate your thoughts
