Description

Finally tried imaging a cluster when the moon was up in the sky. And the final result justifies itself. I'm very happy with it. Even though it took almost a week to be properly processed. I lost some clear skies recently because of school, that's consuming most of my time. But I finally got encouraged to image with the moon. I'll be doing many more clusters from now on.

This was also my first time imaging with a double-axis motor with EQ-mod. It's really practical.

Special thanks to my friends who helped me during the processing steps and gave me company while shooting. Yesterday we did a livestream together talking about our trajectories on astrophotography; it's in Portuguese, but if anyone wants to check it out, here's the link: https://youtu.be/u90ijwlPpIs
