Full Moon Eta.
Desperate is the word!!
The weather has been lousy for a while now, so imaged eta knowing I would at least get something!
I stuck to one minute exposures so not to saturate with moon light.
Telescope 8" f/4 astrograph on a HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Unmodded Canon 1100D at ISO 800.
55 x 60 sec subs ISO 800.
11 dark frames, 11 flat frames and 11 bias.
Stacked in DSS and post process in Phototshop.
Cheers,
Justin.

Re: Full Moon Eta.
Six months ago I would have made a mess of this image taken in moon light. But I've learned not to overexpose, keep the ISO low and how to process out the blue backgound.
