Moon and clouds

Last night the rising full moon was shining through high wispy clouds here in Colorado. The rainbow effects were dramatic. The naked eye view sure beats the photos though. The glare of the moon made it very hard to simultaneously capture the delicate colors in the clouds.

This one is with a Canon 300D at the prime focus of a Tak Sky 90. No processing yet.

This one is with a Tamron zoom lens and the 300D. The real moon is in the glare. The green "moon" is an internal reflection off of one of the internal zoom lens elements. I boosted contrast on this one just a bit.
