Got a couple pf pix last night as an experiment in full moonlight. M41 this time with 22x2 minutes at ISO 400 for a total of 44 minutes. Doesn't seem that much deeper, yet I can plot stars to magnitude 16, which is surprising for a full Moon. And a complimentary M42 also in moonlight, taken through a CLS filter, which didn't help much under these conditions. 11x2 minutes at ISO 800 for M42. All through the ED80.
