I drove around a bit on Saturday afternoon, scoping out the best places to get a shot, somewhere it would have a tree or something in the foreground to provide a nice perspective, just after moonrise so that it would be at its biggest (Actually, I had the perfect shot in mind, if the sheep up the hill were in the right spot with a tilt-lens, I could have gotten a very nice effect straight from my driveway).
And then the clouds came. (although I did get one at 15mm with an atmospheric halo)
And the rain came on sunday night.
Monday night I managed to get some shots at 8pm when I got home, but by then it was too high in the sky for any perspective shots. Managed a very nice close-up with a soviet Jupiter 250mm f/3.5 and two 2x T/Cs for 1000mm f/14 (well, as nice as you'd expect for $150 worth of home-made telescope from 30 year old glass).
Nothing as good as either of those though...
