In the ScummVM options toggle on the "Aspect ratio correction" option and make sure *not* to use the "Stretch to window" stretch mode (any other stretch mode should be fine).

What version of ScummVM are you using?
Also on which platform?

On Dos? You mean, original MSDOS, on a 90s hardware?
Probably not ;-)

The question isn't what platform is the game, but what platform is ScummVM running on?
Regular Windows 10 PC?
Other Windows version?
Some Linux distro?
Maybe Amiga, or any other supported device?

The more recent versions of ScummVM have the extra setting about scaling, and there is even an option for "pixel perfect scaling" that you could try there to see if it looks any better for your taste.

Is there particular reason you are not upgrading to ScummVM 2.1.x?

Other than that, the settings in your screenshot seem ok.

It also depends how you define "correct aspect ratio". If it was the way it looked to most players back in the 90s on DOS computers, which is what I assume you wanted, then aspect ratio correction needs to be on. But the ratio was different on some other platforms. And you may prefer the moon to be round rather than how it looked on DOS in the past, in which case you would need to turn aspect ratio correction off. Although other elements in the game might look better with aspect ratio correction turned on. There is a lengthy discussion on the topic already in this thread.

I Notice that if you apply the graphic filter you get an image with more resolution and less pixelated
The problem is that you have a sort of Blurring that Bother me
