Nice star effect on star - bottom edge of moon is a bit washed out (low on detail). Isn't that three of these shots in this challenge? (And I thought I had an original idea...)

Wonderful shot. Star on left really makes this visually balanced and interesting.

Nice shot. Maybe a little too much contrast as it kinda destroys the detail on the moon surface.

I was trying to get a shot like this the other night but it failed miserably through the double glazed windows.

the moon is slightly blown out ... faster shutter speed would help eliminate that ...
