Hi Lost,
Thanks for the valuable feedback.
The shots that show more white is that off putting (overexposed) or more subjective?
Didn't realise that it had that artefact, will definitely be watching for it.
You are right, I think I don't have proper focus as well - I think it really comes out when its enlarged that the focus is off.
Didn't realise the range and shades of grey and black on the moon. I will keep practising.
Thanks again,
M11

I'm not sure if this is a stacking or clipping artefact but either way it is something that you might want to keep an eye on when processing. The other being that it looks just a little soft which could be due to the seeing conditions or your focus may have been just a fraction off. I am only nitpicking and personally they are some lovely lunar shots. Something else that's worth a try is to bring out its true colour. The moon has a beautiful palette.
