The moon, not an easy subject to photograph.
However, during last years thread; Tonight's Moon 2019; share your photos here, there were some very good photos taken and shared, so to continue the theme, I've started the 2020 thread.

Earlier tonight, the cloud was for once particularly thin, allowing the evening moon to shine through for me to grab a photo.
The full moon, which is around 10th January, and known as the Wolf Moon, the name given to the first full moon of the year, mainly because wolves are supposed to howl more with it being the mating season. Incidentally, foxes tend to be more vocal December to January, for the same reason, so I'm inclined to believe the same for wolves.

i love robins said:Thanks Mike, I don’t think I got my settings right but it was absolutely freezing and I wasn’t going to stay outside altering my settings any longer for fear of turning into an ice block.
You were very close, the moons surface is perfectly clear.
