VERY nice image Jon!! Great detail in your image. It's funny that a lot of DSO imagers HATE when the moon is out but I look forward to its different phases as there is a wealth of detail to be seen.

Thanks for the compliment.
As far as I'm concerned, any clear night is a good night, and if the moon is out, I'll observe it. Just got lucky with the picture, I'm looking forward to capturing a good 3rd Qtr moon if the weather would cooperate.

Hello Jon,
Welcome aboard!
Very nice shot! You are right, I also believe in observing what's up whatever it is. I get some of my best views this way.

Jon,

Gorgeous shot! I love observing the moon and first quarter is probably my favorite.

Very nicely done.....for a light polluter, it looks quite nice.

Hello Jon and everyone,

Jon, this is a first-class image. Did you do any special processing on it, or is it straight from the camera?

Very jealous,

Bill

Sorry to hear your jealous of one of mine...I'm jealous of a bunch of others as well....keep gathering photons....I've been at it realy heavy for just over 2 years...I've seen a lot of improvement in my images since I started, I'm sure you will to.
Thanks for the compliment.
Jon
