That doesn't sound right. There has to be a penalty somewhere. Moon or any unwanted light is noise. Help me wrap my head around this one.

Huh ? 2 minutes ?? The image will definetely fog. Period. Unless you do narrow-band AP.
Photographing deepsky during a FM night is worse than photographing in downtown Sydney as in the latter case the light pollution is only in limited wavelengths and can be filtered out by Hutech LP or Astronomik CLS filters. That is NOT possible in moonlight as it is just broadband reflected sunlight. So post-processing will NOT help.
Of course there will be clear nights around NM in Qld. Wait a week and it is *really* dark when you drive out of Mackay.
