About this image

A clear night but with a full moon. Not wanting to waste the imaging time I decided to see how well the Light Pollution Filter was on the S50 and collected 5 hours of data on the Fish Head nebula. After taking some time to remove moon related gradients I think the end result makes it worthwhile
