OK now I've got a decent sample to share:
<http
/www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=California/Bay-Area/San-Francisco/neighborhoods/2005-05-21-berkeley-marina/moon>
I just let the camera expose at wide open aperture 400mm including
teleconverter and it was much too bright (-2.7 EC in the raw
conversion). The shot was at sunset with a blueish sky darkened here.
Maybe the blue in the sky caused the yellow moon. It was also quite near
the horizon. I don't know what caused that awful halo along the top
edge, it was hand held with vibration reduction turned on.
