Great work CameraMan. The first two are my choice. Be careful not to over sharpen and loose the smoothness in the noise gain. Also adds a rim line most visible at the top left.

Some great advice here. I would also suggest shooting the Moon higher in the sky whenever possible. I have found the atmosphere to be much more photo friendly in the hours just before dawn, by this time the Earth has released much of the previous day''s heat. Radiational cooling, winds aloft among other things can make critical focus near impossible. Also avoid shooting over rooftops whenever you can in the warm months to avoid distortion.

Well done.

Cameraman, those shots are great. What 300mm lens did you use?
