Here's a pair of mine (reduced for flickr) that show some
stars/planets around the moon.

What's amazing to me is, when you look at the full size images, how
much motion blur is visible even at a 2 second exposure.

The one I linked above is also 2 seconds and ISO 100, and streaked. That's too long, the ISO should be turned up (& aperture opened?). Another route is to align & stack several short consecutive photos, the rotation of the moon will blur at some point too.
