NGC4038 Antennae galaxy in moonlight

Hi Guys

LRGB in (half) moon light is really not a good idea. Doable, but lots more data needed, and fiddling in PS. I dont think ill bother again .

The background glow was huge, and gradients horrendous.

Haveing said that, perhaps its better than not at all if the weather doesnt cooperate at the appropriate times.

NGC4038 Antennae Galaxy (imaged with half moon up)
LRGB Lum 150min 20 off 10 min bin 1 subs : RGB 50min 10 off 5 min bin2 subs each
Taken on a Meade 12" LX200R OTA, G11, ST10XME, at f6.7

Cheers
