Description

This was really a test of limits, I took the first hour of data on a night when the moon had already set, in my normal ~Bortle 6 skies with my RGB camera and generic light pollution filter. The rest of the data was taken with the (essentially) full moon, from the same Bortle 6 skies. The "score" difference in Deep Sky Stacker between the moonless night data and the full moon night data was laughable. But I pressed on out of curiosity, and was happy with what I was able to get! GradientXTerminator by RC Astro and Starnet are the true life savers here.
