I remember years ago when i was in high school i did an astronomy assignment to go out and shoot stars. I remember wishing that it was possible to get a good clear view of the moon.... well these days.

It actually looks really weird when the stars are in focus too, hence choosing an OOF shot. I also pushed the BG magenta deliberately for a bit of interest. Still undecided on whether it works or not.

Surprising too how many people don't get that its a composite. Second time I've taken a pic of the moon..., and the first was that school assignment  Actually done right a starry BG with the moon can look great but they have to be in focus and the moon will always produce a soft glare around it . Black BG are best looking . Take a look at this image from APOD : http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap010906.html
