Orion Nebula vs Fraser Island Inferno at full Moon

After 7 weeks straight of raging fires on Fraser Island and with the air thick with smoke as we are only 10 km from Fraser Island i finally had a night free for imaging and it was a full moon.

The wind started to blow and there were small gaps in the smoke allowing me to image M42 Orion Nebula, guiding was very difficult and several subs were rejected, I have to say I am very impressed with my new Optolong L- enhance filters ability to cut through the full moon lightpollution. After imaging the scope was well covered in a thin layer of dust, it took some time to carefully clean.

I need to try this again without bushfire smoke and full moon, but for now after 8 weeks of severe bushfires i am happy to now see clouds and rain moving in.

4 x 300 sec subs at gain 90 bin1x1 ( Optolong L- enhance filter )

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
