Description

The moon was up in all its glory, but I still tried to see if I could get some decent H-Alpha data. The target was only around 35deg from the moon.  Undoubtedly, I lost some image contrast with it being so bright out.  I will need to wait until the new moon to capture OIII data. Ran my 200mm lens wide open at f2.8.
