Something similar came a few months back. It was discovered that the moon is so much brighter than any planet that you either end up with a well-exposed moon and blackness around it, or a massively overexposed moon and visible planet.
I suppose you could merge two shots!

If what I`ve seen posted about on the interweb is anything to go by,28th August is when Mars and the Moon will almost be in alignment and might be,if cloud cover permits,a chance to get some great images.

Nothing doing then as far as I can see.
Perhaps you are thinking of the 27th around dawn when the Moon and Jupiter are together, along with Uranus (no jokes please). However, the Moon will be close to full and might drown out Jupiter somewhat.
Personally I'll be staying in bed!

Well, I'll have to think about how to do this. Merging two shots will be the way to go. I might just have a go, been a while since I had my telescope out.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Heh heh....you said 'Uranus'...heh heh.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

See, HDR isn't just for cityscapes with weird cartoon colours

Well, I was all exited, but didn't think to check any star charts, until now. Can't see Mars anywhere near the Moon 
Never mind. As I've charged my battery, I might still get my scope out
