Description

On ly fools make deep-sky pictures in RGB at nearly full Moon ...

Well ... I did ;-)

As I have trouble with heavy light pollution, I may as well take moonlight on top ! :-D

RGB 90:90:85 (had to trow one 300s frame away due to guiding fault)

Shown picture is the central part of a vertical frame.

Reduced to 50% of full res.
