I should confess that this is actually a composite - I only had my digital P&S with me at the time (and you know how fast these colours change!), so I took a quick photo to get the sky as it was, and then raced home and took a decent photo of the Moon with a longer lens (and tripod). Still, the 2 photos were taken within 30 minutes of each other, and (as you can verify) the composite does accurately reproduce the scene :-)
So, it is not for the purists, but I long ago gave up being a purist in favour of presenting a scene as I saw it...
Neil, it's funny. I was looking at this same scene (in Sydney) on the same day at about the same time you took this. See, it pays to do and not only to think about it. I like it. I also noticed that it wasn't quite full but now realise that it doesn't look any worse because of it. I also like the moon on the lower right, this way you caught most of the richer colour above it. Well done and well spotted.
The 10D is very good - it is not a 1D of course, but it has a lot of very useful features - like mirror lock-up, for example. I've been very happy with it! I do miss a full-frame sensor though, as I love my ultra-wides, and I also like to have shallow DOF sometimes (both of which the smaller sensor fights against!!).
Sérgio, thank you for the kind words, but I realised after you commented that I had given incorrect information - it wasn't shot with a Canon G2 as I first listed, but with a 10D & 500mm f/8 mirror lens. Perhaps this could better explain the clarity in the Moon?! :-) Sorry for the mis-information, you were too quick for me!!
