Congratulations, Ian.  This is a very interesting shot.

I think that next time you could try a quick sequence of shot at =
different exposures.  Then combine the picture using HR (high dynamic =
range) software.  [See: =
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging]

I was puzzled to note that the two =93dogs=94 do not lie in a straight =
line with the moon.  I can't explain that, but is is the same a the =
configuration shown in the Wikipedia article on moon dogs =
[http://en.wikipedia.org/Moon_dog].

Much like Sundogs but caused by the light of the moon. The corona was =
huge. I had to use a pretty big aperture to catch a little of what my =
eye was seeing. Not great but it comes close.
