I need some advice. I was out trying to take some pictures of the sky tonight. The moon was peeking out through the clouds and the sky was just beautiful. Sadly, I seem unable to take that beauty and capture it with the camera. To get the moon exposed properly I need to shoot at f/11 with a shutter speed about 1/100-1/125th of a second and ISO at 100. When I do this all I get in the shot is the moon and the clouds are not visible. To make the clouds visible I seem to need a longer shutter speed (I was trying 10 second exposures tonight). This exposes the clouds ok but I was getting lots of subject motion blur because of the wind and the moon was way over exposed. Is there something I am missing? This just didn't seem like it should have been so difficult to do...
