You won't see stars if the moon is properly exposed. (Remember, this was one of the "clues" to the "faked" moon landings. The moon is much much brighter than stars and requires much less exposure. 

 

Note that in the example above he used HDR, In this case, that is essentially a double exposure.

EOS 1DX and 1D Mk IV and less lenses then before!

Can you message me how you did it too? I am new at this and am wanting to get a picture of the Blue Blood Moon tonight. Your picture is beautiful.

This is a zombie thread... but that blood blue moon (due to the lunar eclipse) was last night.
