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.

Day 11. Got it! Just thought I'd check the sky before I went to bed and the moon was back out from behind the clouds. Waited until midnight and managed to bag my moon shot for day 11.
I took this at the beginning of the eclipse with my crop 550D at 235mm which works out at 376mm last night around 2:35 where the darkening started at the top
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.

Whilst I realise this is not a top quality shot, in the lower right quadrant on zoom you can see something. Is it a plane or as it is a super moon perhaps it is superman?
Went out on this relative clear evening to catch the moon there in the 'blue sky'. There was some very very thin cloud layer there that added just a hint of glow as the sun was setting.
You can compare this view to the one night before in the darker sky. Like the moon here on the blue sky at sunset.

"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 =)

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.
