Hi:
Possibly I'm misunderstanding, but instances where one can shoot both the sun and moon, achieving a 2 body fix, occur frequently during the early and latter parts of the month, at least during spring and fall. The moon isn't full, but it is quite shootable, as is the sun, depending as always on weather conditions. Instances where one can shoot a full moon and the sun might be less common though, I hadn't noticed, shame on me.
