Description

Everything went bad with this attempt

Moon at 99%, light pollution, no filters and bad quality as I realized my acquisition software was using default settings for the ASI294MC Pro, which produced 8-bit images.

Nevertheless I used this as an exercise to document my pixinsight typical workflow
