yeah, I learnt earlier this week how much the moon affects things. I was trying to find NGC4945 in centaurus...
I found it, but the glow from the moon, which hadn't even risen yet, had washed the sky out so much I could barely make it out.
every extended object I looked - Eta carina, Centaurus A, omega centauri - they were all washed out. still, I got to try out my new 6mm ethos on saturn, so it wasn't a total wash.
