Moon behind clouds/haze

What is the trick to getting a moon photo with good detail, and the glowing haze with a DSLR?
Tried several settings but couldnt pin it down- only got a nice photo of the moon.

Many thanks!

Depends what optics you're using - the better the lens the better the results you should expect. Are you shooting through a telescope or SLR lens?

You might even need to make an overlay of one short and one longer exposure if the cloud/haze detail is too much dimmer than the moon itself. I'm not a big expert on post-processing stuff but many folks around here are.
