Description

Having fun with this one.  I learned a valuable lesson on shooting with a bright star near by that caused all kinds of issues.  Either put it in the frame, or make sure it is way out of frame.  The moon was also at about 50% illumination and not too far from the target.  As a result, I had to use some heavy handed editing in photoshop to deal with all the reflections and gradients.  So, have fun with it, rather than being accurate.  I will provide a more representative version as an alternate.
I also used the new Starnet V2 on this - totally worth the upgrade.
