Description

I wasn't expecting anything super spectacular considering that it was both a full moon AND fireworks were going off all night, but the image turned out semi-usable anyway. There's a lot of light pollution coming in, especially through the blue filter. Might have to upgrade to an L-eXtreme some day.

I also made a bunch of mistakes that cause bad framing of the target and losing over an hour of exposure time.

I did try upping the gain from my usual 120 to 200, and I think it helped.
