The full moon in April is called the pink moon because the time of year corresponds to pink wild flower season. The first image is the moon backlighting the clouds composed with the moon from the second image. The moon was actually in that position in the clouds, but I couldn't capture the clouds and detail in one shot. The second image is a stack of 30-40 images shot at 3 different exposures and then merged. The third image is a single exposure for reference. You may not notice a huge difference between the second and third images but if you zoom in on a large screen the detail is significantly better in the second image. If you really want the best detail, you really need to take thousands of images. Then select only a small percentage of the absolute best quality to merge to remove the noise and enhance detail. Have you ever tried to photograph the moon? I would love to see the results even if it's with a phone!

10 timelapse photography tips: 1) Use a solid tripod. 2) Ensure there will be motion. Usually motion in the foreground and sky is better. 3) Ensure in fixed objects are positioned well compositionally. 4) Set proper interval using an intervalometer or in-camera timer. 5) Ensure you are capturing in RAW to be able to recover the most detail (dynamic range). 6) Use your camera's manual focus to ensure proper clarity throughout the composition. 7) Choose exposure, aperture, and ISO that effectively exposes both foreground and sky. 8) Double check exposure using the histogram. 9) Double check that all key settings like white balance, focus, etc are fixed. 10) Determine the time it will take to capture timelapse duration you need. Formula: capture time = (desired duration in seconds) x (frames per second) x (interval or exposure duration) Do you have any additional tips that you would add here?
