Full Moon and faint nebulae

Having just seen JA's nice image, I was clearly not the only one with this mad idea, to image the Scorpius nebulae next to the Moon! As far as I can see it was really quite a rare event, imaging nebulae next to the Moon: eclipses are rare enough in your location, then eclipses in proximity to nebulae are once or twice a decade globally. It's June 2029 for the next opportunity, and only if you're in South America...
Most of the Antares/Rho Ophiuchi nebulae show up, and there's even the brightest edge of the Blue Horsehead next to the Moon.

This was 45 x 15 & 20s shots, EOS6DII with 100mm lens at f/5, and a single 6s image for the unblurred Moon, all taken between 8:59 & 9:35pm. PixInsight and Photoshop for the stacking and processing. I'd have got more shots but I had intervalometer issues and my camera memory card filled up while I was distracted imaging with the main telescope. Not the most straightforward event with only 14 minutes of totality and a few more either side to play with.

Well done Andy .... You've got some nice colour in Rho Oph as well as some nebulosity AND some detail in the Moon

(Mine Rho Oph & Eclipse was closer to a monochrome yellow, with some blue and red (if you imagine) . Thanks for the heads up on the next one in 2029 . That should give enough time for setup.

Best
JA
