Very nice! I tried to get some shots today on Galveston Island but unfortunately heavy cloud coverage blocked the view of the moon 😭.
 
Very excellent shot, I bet you planned this location ahead of time. But the moon is neither blue nor blood, or am I mistaken?

Ya those terms don’t mean much to me, but technically

“supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit and about 14 percent brighter than usual.

It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.”

Heres the first blue moon earlier this month (I’m writing this in Feb 1, ignore that)

Nice. Wow the atmosphere is really messing with the moons disc!
 
It did! And this wasn't heat, I was stuck in blizzard feeling temperatures at a farm cabin. Of course no snow, just the conditions.

Hard to believe the EXIF of 1/10,000 sec! I'm thinking this is a glitch in the data. (or maybe you are handheld with a 1200mm) Beautiful of a shot! Well worth the effort.
 
Yea, who knows, the first picture I loaded directly from my computer after processed through Capture One. It's always had the EXIF data, this time it didn't.

Shutter was 1/80th with the 100-400gm on a monopod with stabilization ON.

Pics from my computer usually carry the EXIF data on here naturally. It's been a year or whatever since the last time so who know what's changed.

Interesting - have you found the 100-400 does well with OSS on while on a monopod/tripod?

I shot the moonset yesterday morning at 300mm f/5.6 iso 800 1/20 sec while on a tripod using cable release with OSS off and got 1 of 20 images tack-sharp. Rest had varying amounts of motion blur.

Stupidly had the hood on (didn't need it) and that may have contributed with the mild-moderate wind.

Was wondering how the Sony GM OSS handles being on a tripod. Canon's system is supposed to be able to sense the camera/lens is stabilized.

I turn it off when on a tripod and gimbal, unless doing video then it helps the smoothness of transitioning, it just looks more fluid and handheld rather than abrupt vibrations.

On a monopod I use stabilization because I'm treating it as a handheld shot and letting the monopod just support the weight but there's nothing tripod about a monopod if you used one. :P

Winds were light luckily, you never know what to expect for these shots as much as you plan them. Out of 50 different shots, especially in the darker settings when the moon was about to rise I only saw a few that were softer looking.

1/10,000 sec is just DPreview’s way of saying “I don’t know” !
 
I got lucky, here just East of you was clear skies. The sun rose just as the moon was setting so I wasn't able to get the full blood moon. The sunrise was so beautiful I set the moon phases on the sunrise photo

Thanks for mentioning so I can stop kicking myself. I have a beach house there and really wanted head down to take pics of the moon over the water, but couldn't make it. Lucked out and the skies remained clear further inland.
