Very nicely processed, Rusty.

With narrowband filters, if the moon is say in Pisces, then you can image bright objects in the deep south happily for all but a couple days either side of the full moon.

Any sort of moon at all say just 15 degrees away is as Mike says, a disaster, and for really ultra-faint stuff, one needs the new moon. Also thin haze, which often means good seeing, is bad if the moon's bright.

Nice work.
Mike
