Thanks Leon!

I've done a few of these & I find at full moon they work best when the moon rises a bit before the sun sets (in this case it was 25 minutes). If it rises much earlier you get a white moon, (which is still OK) but I prefer the yellow or orange moon that pops a bit more. If it rises later than the sun sets, then the foreground gets too dark compared to the bright moon. You can sometimes selectively adjust the brightness during processing (and you can always do a composite etc) but I prefer the single exposures where the brightness levels aren't too far apart.

Cheers,
Pete
