Description

At first I exposed with 240 seconds, but that was actually too much for the half moon, so I started to expose with 180 seconds, but in the end I only used the 180 second exposure series, because I don't know exactly how to integrate the two exposure series. I drizzled twice and then edited a bit with Affinity Photo. I made the darks in the fridge this time, which works quite well.
