This full moon is so bright it kills stargazing

Yeah, well there are other things in nature to enjoy. Looks great

Aaaaaaaaand zip. A down hiller from Italy must have taken a wrong turn at 140km/hr. That is stunningly bright even with the snow contributing. I'm not sure I can recall it ever being that bright here in NZ but then I never seemed to be in a snowfield at midnight.

No scoping last night but had to go outside briefly just to observe to moon. No need for any porch lights. A sprinkle of stars.

Last night I was able to do a full night of imaging despite the full moon now that I have 3 nm narrow band filters. Certainly a beautiful landscape here. ❤

It’s still a lovely landscape, and you could do lunar astronomy, yes? But as someone most interested in nebulas and not lunar astronomy, I share your frustration. I just wish I had your dark skies!
