Nice Moon compositions are possible at dawn or dusk – other times it is just too bright (it’s like trying to image a headlight at night).  The first one of these is an exception: it was rising in the east an hour after sunset, but there were clouds that dimmed it and provided a light, even background.  All these were all shot at 200mm off a tripod.  I took a lot of  care with focus and took measures to eliminate camera-shake.   The images were all cropped-in severely to achieve the “big Moon” composition (see the last frame).   And note that I made over 70 frames in order to collect a few “keepers”. -BB
