All I have is a 200 (I actually shot it at 105mm because it was sharper)

I missed it last night but just went out and had a go a day late. I saw the plane in the bottom right corner just at the last moment and so I had to scramble to quickly get the shot off before it disappeared. It isnt ideal but I was pleased to at least get it.

It was a bust for me. saturday and sunday cloudy.
I did give a photo tour on Friday night though, here's a shot of the Biosphere by Julie Royes with a full moon but not the super-moon.

Really like the plane in your image RM!
Nice images Jude1 and AT.
Great shots everyone! I was camping in Vermont and it rained the whole night. All well...
Runmonty--I love that plane you managed to catch there, certainly adds a sense of scale!
jude01--I like the second one, the clouds add a nice texture.
I just went back and tried HDR version from a bracketed set I shot Monday night

HDR Moon by runmonty, on Flickr
I think you have something there RM - very striking!
I dig how the moon looks like it's resting on those clouds - Can you describe the PP on the moon in particular, was it this sharp in the RAW file. (I'm getting into moon-shooting theory lately, lol)
OK Here it goes
-Was a 3 shot HDR bracketed -2,0,+2
-First I adjusted exposure on the -2 down even further to improve detail on the moon before HDR processing
-Processed in HDR Efex Pro 2, using a fairly extreme preset. This gave most of the final contrast in the moon.
-Within HDR Efex I used control points to increase exposure in the clouds and increase the structure on the moon.
-Cropped in Photoshop
-In Photoshop the image was very noisy, so I duplicated layer and applied a strong noise reduction. Masked the moon so the noise reduction was on the clouds only. (I think a gausian blur layer may have been better)
-The edges of the moon were haloing so I cloned around the edges to tidy up.
-A liitle burning/painting on the top and left to restore darker black.
-Unsharp mask to sharpen (moon only- I masked the clouds)
-Global Curves adjustment to punch out the contrast
Copies of RAW files below are -2 (adjusted as described) , 0, & +2 files for your info.
