I love the composition!
Why did you select ISO800 and F7.1? A faster F-ratio or slower ISO would have given a less noisy image.

It's artistic, like adding artificial film grain texture to an otherwise digital photo. Nice.
Wow, that's very atmospheric (excuse the pun).
Lovely composition Julian.

Julian,
Great image and lovely subject matter.................but where are the trees, or beach scene, to make this a truly astronomical composition. ;)

Time must be hard if were taking pictures of a cloudy full moon :-)
But hey thats UK astrophotography for you.
Nice image,
Mac.
That's a very nice image. There's a fair amount of lunar detail in the full size shot.
