Description

At 4:30 AM and only 35° up in the SE sky, the moon was enshrouded by a halo and haze. Thin clouds crossed the SharpCap preview while the image was shaken by wind gusts. Anyway, with longer exposures and a little extra post-processing the morning yielded three (of four) satisfactory images. Since our rainy season will officially begin this week it was a "now-or-never" session. Can only get better.

All images are in mono8, 10-bit ADC, 1.5x drizzled.
