On my wildlife trip last weekend I was able to takes some nice pictures of the moon in the morning before sun startet to rise. With my Nikon D500 I already took several pictures of the Moon and they are quite good, and eventhough I can't get that close with the Z6II the Full Frame Camera has a lot more reserves and cropping the pictures afterwards is not that bad to my surprise, and I had the advantage of the bigger sensor with more light sensitivity. Buth the Disadvantage is that I am much further away, 600mm instead of 900mm if you put them into perspective. Eventhough the pictures quality on the Z6II is better than on the D500, loosing the crop especially with a 600mm lens is something that you shouldnt underestimate.
