We know the horizon is in focus because we know the transition from lunar surface to black sky is a sharp gradient. To conclude that the image in question is in focus, well, we would have to know what the image in question was to begin with. Otherwise, we don't know if the apparent soft edges are due to the nature of the object or of the effect of focus.
