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.

The full moon is Wed 8th April, around 03:35 am for most in the UK, but there will be plenty of opportunities around evening time onward to get a pic or two.
Did anyone manage to see the moon?
Here's my pink moon, snatched this morning....
Very arty Mike ... here's my attempt on an extremely hazy night unfortunately
Best wishes

Considering the haze you had, there's nothing wrong with your photo, the craters and seas are clear, very good in my books.
Hazel C said:Very nice both, lovely photos. Our moon was quite well hidden so had a half-decent moth trap. We also had a fabulous sunset which seem to be every day at the moment.
I think it became quite cloudy in many places overnight and early morning. I was just lucky with a gap in the clouds this morning.
Just for general info, for those early birds who have noticed three bright lights in the southern/south-eastern skies around 05:00-06:00, they are L-R Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
