Taking one photo of the moon in focus and one with the tree in focus and then just cutting out the moon from one shot and applying it to the other photo is probably the easiest way to do it.Originally Posted by Daniel Browning

Since you have photoshop, you can do a focus stack.
Use the custom function, to disconnect your shutter from auto focusing, and move the AF to the button (AF ON) on the back of your camera.
Focus on that large trunk, with the AF back button, re-frame your shot to the moon, then take your first picture with the flash.
Without moving the camera, hit the back AF button again, to refocus on the moon. Take the second shot.
Stack both images in photoshop, and run a script, and it will eliminate the out of focus areas. Your tree should be lit, and show the detail, as well as the moon itself.
Good luck.
