Regarding the flare problem, were you using a UV filter?

A UV, or "protective" filter can actually make flare worse, especially (IMO) when shooting directly at the moon. I've suffer from such a problem. In the end I stopped using a UV filter all the time.

BTW I only (so far) use a really cheap filters.

Jethro,

Yes I do.

I'll have to give your suggestion a try. I have a Hoya filter mounted all the time. I'll have to try taking it off for a while.
