Description

40 x 300 sec  ISO1600  DSLR

Total integration:  3.3 hrs

90% moon, angular separation to target - 85 deg

Half the subexposures were moon polluted and noticeably brighter even with the L-enhance filter.  I processed the data twice, once with 19 subs with no moon and one with all the subs.  The image with all the subs was noticeably better.
