Moon of 2/23/2021 @ 87%

After over a month of rainy, snowy, or just cloudy nights I finally got a Clear Sky Night only to have the 87% Moon blocking the DSOs I wanted to image. So falling back to my First Rule of Astrophotography: When the Moon is out, Shoot the Moon.

This was a quick 10 image grab without alignment. Setting were ISO 400, 1/3200 second exposure, f/6.3 at 600 mm. I used the Canon T7i (modified) and the Sigma 150-600 mm lens. I changed RAW to TIFF with Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 then just stacked them in RegiStax 6 and finished it off with Photoshop 2021.
