Many thanks for the comments guys. I went out again tonight to the same location for another two hour session and caught even brighter bows. The showers were more intense and even though the Moon was less bright, it was clear from cloud and illuminated the precip areas with it's full intensity. The bows were higher tonight, and more difficult to fit in the lens compared to the previous night due to the Moon's lower elevation on the ecliptic. The sky was also a fraction darker so I pushed the ISO up to 400 for a brighter image. I couldn't do that on Wed night.
