I took a few shots at around 12.30am or 1.30am this morning, depending wether I have set BST on the camera or not.
This with a little PP.
This is the original with sharpening only.

I only found out about the super moon thing, from the TV at about 11.30pm., and after thinking it over decided to have a go. (I mean I had to unlock the front door and stand on the path outside.
) I was fortunate that the sky was clear, other parts of the country were cloudy..
Lens Tamron 70-300 macro (cheapo)
Settings:- Manual, ISO100, f13, shutterspeeds between 1/60 - 1/160.
Spot focus and spot metering. ( To meter on the moon and not the black sky )
There is a lot of light up there, reflected back almost directly from the sun.

Thanks Don. Just made the sky a dark blue instead of black and added a few stars (4 white pixels) and a 'lens flare' filter for the brighter star.
Doing it is easy, the idea is more difficult. You no doubt know that from your writing.
