I haven't found NB working ideally under a full moon with 5nm Astrdons. Perhaps 3nm do. I see a drop in contrast when the moon is too bright or too close to the object being imaged. I still see best Ha under dark skies but it does work quite well under bright moon and light pollution. Dark skies are always better and usually better seeing as well (I am sure the concrete jungle messes up the atmosphere's stability).
