I liked your short video made from the time lapse sequence of the moon rising behind the skyline. I noticed that the moon was overexposed as a result of exposing for the skyline. I also noticed that you used exposure bracketing on your shots. Have you tried to make a time lapse that is properly exposed for the background/skyline and the moon?

Good videos Maria! I'm trying to do a trip to Mackinac Island in Michigan, a Dark Sky area, to shoot astro this fall. PS-don't forget the accent mark on the first "e" of your last name (Option-e-e), it's my second last name (in the Spanish tradition). It's Pérez (so that baseball announcers and Modelo commercials call us PE-rez, and not "Pu-REZ")! OK, soapbox done! ;-)
