3 options or solutions
1/ Pick a target away from the moons direct glare and movement across the night sky
2/ Try narrowband Imaging
3/ Also use a moon glare deflector , I made up one using a 2.1m high x 20mm dia timber dowel which sits in a hole drilled into a thick timber base and then cable tie an umbrella to the top opened out with a piece of silver grey poly Tarp ( same shape as opened umbrella) stretched across the top and clipped on the sides
It works a treat and definitely shows up on the histogram as reduced glare by about 5% to 7% .When I’m imaging I just move the deflector around the scope every 20 mins to block out the moon glare as my target traverses the night sky
Cheers
