Post your Moon and Star shots

Here's tonight's Blue Moon. Captured this as soon as it was enough above the treeline. I wish I would have climbed up somewhere so that i could get it right as it lifted above the horizon, but this will have to do.

D800; 70-300mm, f8, ISO-200

This is the best I could get of tonight's "blue moon". Right after I took this shot, the clouds rolled in and obscured the whole moon. I guess I got lucky.

These were shot many moons ago (HA! Do you see what I did there?!!!!) on an old Fuji Bridge camera back in 2007, so the resolution isn't great. I poked it down the viewfinder of the Dobsonian Reflector telescope I had at the time:
