Nice! What was your technique? I'm guessing bulb and card or something?

Nope ;)

I have a timer on my remote trigger so i can tell it to take so many shots over a certain period, I think I set it to one ever 30 seconds but didn't use all of the photos. I then loaded the ones i wanted into photoshop, 5 mins later and i was done.

I was amazed at how quickly the moon moved though ! It was out of the frame within no time !

Smoke haze?

Good shots. My red moon shots taken last year are nowhere as good as yours.

Yes tell me all about it :( sunrises are very hard, there is a very short "window" of opportunity before the sun is to strong or the clouds cover it.
The bad news is that the scene never will be repeated :(
The good one is that all the sunrises are beautiful :)
