Description

I captured this image from my backyard in Oswego, IL. in a rare three clear nights in a row that we had this past week.   The moon was illuminated 60-86% high in the sky the whole time, it's amazing how much narrowband filters can block out.  I haven't quite gotten the hang of the Hubble pallet so I took some liberties with the colors, this is a combination between the SHO + Foraxx palettes..
