Hi Christopher isn't with me right now but I thought you might like to see some of his work from Tuesdays trip. He took the photo's completely on his own, I have processed them for him, generally to his ideas. Just to be clear, Chris is 13. All are taken with the Nikon D3300 with a badly scratched 18-105 lens. With flash:  Without flash:   Neither of us can understand how this happened... Any suggestions or explanations welcome. Not been messed with in the computer, that's how it came off the card???  Perhaps the best till last?

Like the night swans photo. Your Moon and Venus is nice. I prefer #2 to #1 as the silhouette version works better for me but I also like the light on the wall and trees in #1. Tell Dad, your #2 is better than his, even though it doesnt have the Moon and Venus.

Surprisingly perhaps, I prefer the flash fill in image best! Perhaps it's a tiny bit over filled but still a great image. With regard to the superimposed moon....were you shooting straight at the moon through the trees? It's almost like a bifocal/parallax effect....can't remember the right term....your Dad will know!

Looking at it now I think a graduated adjustment to reduce the exposure on the leaves would help, I was looking through the trees, not at the wall and leaves. The moon has me mystified. I don't think its camera movement, BUT thinking about it, he was hand holding the camera for that shot I think, if the camera moved after the flash then the moon was bright enough to make it's own exposure in the time the shutter remains open but there is no movement blur...  I don't think the D3300 has the ability to make double exposures, if it does I don't expect it's something you would do accidentally. The only way to prevent the flash going off is to hold it down! Chris used some gaffer tape when we were on Skye.

Adjusted the foreground... Applied the detail extractor in Efex Pro 4 and a graduated adjustment in Lr. Checked the black and white points in PS but they seemed good. Added the original offering for comparison:

Is there a protective filter on the front of that lens?. Just wonder if it's creating a kind of hotspot effect from backward reflection...but this time giving a sharp image ...as the moon was the focal point?

LOL! No, no filter, it's the one lens I have which SHOULD have a filter on it.  It get used in the workshop and subject to all kinds of abuse. It's my best IR lens, was. Nes has another waiting for me I just hope it's as good for IR as this one has been.Given the filthy condition and the two heavy scrapes the eBay sellers oft repeated claim that it doesn't seem to affect the images holds true. The only time I have really noticed any detriment in an image has been pointing the lens towards the Sun. It exhibits some interesting flare and rainbow effects! These are the two heavy scrapes:
