Consider shooting the moon at sunrise or sunset. #1 below is a composite, but I photographed the moon itself half an hour after sunrise on Sept 28.
There are only a couple of times per cycle when moonrise/sunset or sunset/moonrise times are close together, but well worth keeping in mind. One drawback is it takes very little haze, clouds or air pollution to totally obscure your subject.
Shot in raw, f/6.7 at 300 mm on Olympus EM10, 1/750 second because I'm wobbly and don't like tripods (also, the closer to the horizon you shoot the moon, the more easily you will see that it is moving fast!)

Linda From Maine, What a cool shot. I tried to get one between palm trees the other night (Texas), but the moon was moving fast than I could get set up! Thanks for sharing.
