They are great shots Mike. A million times better than my first experiments. Can't wait for you to do some more soon. Thanks again mate.

colour is subjective, so you can and should deal with it however you like. and moonlight will naturally make the sky blue, but on my (dodgy laptop screen) it looks like you may have shifted the white balance a touch (or just increased vibrance/saturation?).

lovely work either way!

Phil
Thank you so much for your great feedback and honest critique Phil I really appreciate it from you. I must admit that I don't really know how to handle these moonlit sky shots in terms of the blue (still furiously experimenting and learning). I process them exactly the same way as a truly dark sky shot and with the same in camera WB settings. Yes I have increased the saturation slightly so that has certainly made the blue stand out more. I'll have a play with different some different RAW WB settings at some stage to see if I can tone it down a bit, or failing that, I might be able to reduce just the blue channel a bit.
Cheers
