Moon early this morning plus...
Meteorite plus...
Meteorite detail

Excellent guys!   Jim, that's a once in a lifetime capture!  Very nicely done.  I saw the details of the meteorite shower on Yahoo and was going to stay up for it, but the city lights and low clouds made that impossible.  I could only imagine how clear it was in Palmdale, I wish I could've been there.

Just a general question for all the 'moon shooters'  
Are you guys using spot or partial metering for this type of shooting?  I've done everything from that to fiddling around with the shudder speed and aperture settings, and I still can't seem to capture the details of the moon.  Any filters or circular polarizers perhaps?  All I get is a white, overexposed dot.

Here's an example...
The only thing done to this one is cropping it.
Speed 1/250
ISO 200
f/6.3

Traveling along Highway 58 over Labor Day weekend I was inspired to try shooting a windmill with the moon behind it.  I've also included the moon rising behind the windmills (airplane included) and a picture taken looking opposite the moonrise (I like this shot a lot).

I like the windmills, very cool

First moon shot of the year.  I got lucky as two freshly created contrails crossed paths.
