The moon can be a massive pain if you want to make photos of deep sky objects. It can glow over large parts of the sky. The solution? Shoot the moon! 🔭 #astrophotography #backyardastronomy #berlin #germany #edgehd8 #svbonysv705c #sharpcap

Raiding the archives as I have no new data. This is Mel15 from December 2023, through a dual band filter. The odd colouration bottom left is due to a not fully corrected moon glow, but I kind of liked it.
