Description

This was shot last night, Sept 24th, in our front yard.  The first hour, approximately, was captured prior to the moon rising above the trees.  I had thought about decreasing the sub exposure to 3 min once the moon rose, but gave a 5 min a try and it looked fine.  So continued with shooting 5 min exposures.

Description: This is a newly edited version. I realized I was making a mistake in APP when doing star color calibration in APP (not necessary when using a narrowband filter).
