I liked the clouds too. In fact there were nice white clouds at one time back lit by the moon. Looked really good to the eye.

I tried to photograph it but gave up. The moon is just too bright in comparison to the white clouds. I tried holding a coin taped to a thin stick to mask the moon - but of course it did not work. I could see some OOF shadow from it but not enough. Wonder if it might work with a bigger mask? I suppose PS cheating with 2 images is the only way.

Whilst considering this problem and looking through the viewfinder at the moon an airplane flew across the face of the moon as a perfect silhouette. My hand was not on the cable release. I said a bad word out loud. Fortunately there was no one to hear me.
