There's no focus stacking required for this shot if you use hyperfocal methods. At 35mm and f/3.4 and 1/90 sec. (original exposure) focusing at 40 feet will give you focus from 20 feet to infinity. If that's not quite enough then closing down to f/5 and cutting the shutter speed to 1/45 and focus at 27 feet will give you 13.5 feet to infinity. If that's not enough put it on a tripod and go smaller and slower. f/11 and 1/10 second and focus at 13 feet will give you 6.5 feet to infinity.

Since you're using a prime no calculations should be required because the hyperfocal marks should be on your lens.

PESO:

I guess the 35/2.0 is not the best lens to use to photograph the moon!!

Sure it is. Just take two, one as focused, another focused on the moon. If 
using a tripod, you can just drop the top of the second on on the first and 
graduate the seam. Handheld, it will require a little adjustment of position in 
PS.

It's just focus stacking. ;-)
