Sorry Paul, I missed this. The short answer is no.

I intend to use the RHA for narrow band, so the point is moot, as you can shoot NB under a full moon with virtually no ill-effects.

Similarly with the RC14, on a non-full Moon night, the sky flux per arc sec when using around 3.0 metres FL even from my not-too-good location simply means I have to use, decidedly longer exposures than a dark site, .....but it is possible to get there
