moon and sky photographs

Increased the ISO some to see if it provided better overall results ... I think the version at ISO 2500 was better. But then that could have also been because the wind was gusting more or less.
The winds were around 20 to 30 MPH last evening ... and bitter cold with temperatures heading towards 15 degrees F.
Had to have the gloves off to manually focus the lens ... brrrrr.
To sevens together
Like time indefinite
Try to catch the glass
Before it falls
Without a frown
Can you turn up the stereo?
I want to play you this old song
It's about love
Can I do that?
Did we remember to water the plants today?
I forgot to look up at the moon because
I was too busy
I was too busy looking at you, baby

The moon on this night (August 17th) looked full but it doesn't technically become a full moon until August 18th at 2:27 PDT. It seemed especially bright tonight and looked wonderful. There seems to be many names for the moon on for this particular lunar showing. Sometimes referred to as the "Full Green Corn Moon", "Blueberry Moon", "Full Sturgeon Moon". the later name from Native American stories that this is the best time to fish for the namesake Sturgeon.
Tonight's 'Supermoon' (29/08/2015) is the first of three spectacular lunar shows this year
That means the moon is very full and bright in the sky, because it has come very close to earth.
Tonight's full moon is just 222,631 miles from earth - one of the closest approaches of the year.
و القمر قدرناه منازل حتى عاد كالعرجون القديم .. سورة يس، آية 39
"And the Moon, ---We have measured for her mansions (to serve) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date stalk."
I cropped the actual shot and it seems closer than using 200mm coz its 10.2 Megapixels =)

The Moon is the only celestial body to which humans have travelled and upon which humans have performed a manned moon landing. The first artificial object to escape Earth's gravity and pass near the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 1, the first artificial object to impact the lunar surface was Luna 2, and the first photographs of the normally occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3, all in 1959. The first spacecraft to perform a successful lunar soft landing was Luna 9; this was soon followed with the first successful lunar soft landing by Surveyor 1 and the first unmanned vehicle to orbit the Moon by Luna 10, all in 1966. The United States (U.S.) Apollo program achieved the only manned missions to date, resulting in six landings between 1969 and 1972. Human exploration of the Moon ceased with the conclusion of the Apollo program, although a few robotic landers and orbiters have been sent to the Moon since that time. Several countries have announced plans to return humans to the surface of the Moon in the 2020s.

P.S this is my first attempt of capturing the moon... and it is not edited
hope to get enough opinions ^^
I tried a redux of the Moon tonight, since it wasn't hazy. It is a slight bit better, but I think I can still do better. The moon was lower, so perhaps better to wait until it's high in the sky so the light is traveling through less atmosphere. Also, a quarter moon or so makes for a more dramatic terminator, when the craters and peaks are highlighted by the sun edge-on.
The moon (78.2%) on the 28th May 2015 at Grantown on Spey, Scotland. The 'Kicking Donkey' in full view.
In memory of John, May 2015.
