Description

Yes it's the Moon again. So this was not planned it was just there, really there. It has been tough imaging lately, fake clear nights where it looks clear so I image but end up trashing most of the exposures. Saturday night it was clear but the moon was really close to one my four targets so even imaging in Ha was not useful - I actually tried but it was so bright the guider would not work. So, I shot the moon and put a slight mineralized color to it. It actually crossed my object target 12 hours later so I will post a composite once I am done with it. It actually came out OK. The crater Tycho, bottom of the image, shows the shock wave radiating off from it really well.

LRGB, 500 frames, best 30%
