    This evening the moon is beautiful, but…because of the full moon I can’t do deep sky photo 😔

  2. I hope you don’t mind me piggy-backing your thread, but I independently tried this earlier because the Moon was so stunning against the light sky.

    About 30° above the horizon, this afternoon at about 4:30pm. The sky was light, but the brightness washed out the background, making it black. Crater detail at the bottom is nuts, but I was shooting through a few thousand miles of atmosphere, so will try again when it’s more overhead.

    I don’t have pro equipment. Panasonic DMZ-FZ72 bridge camera, hand-held at 60x zoom, f/5.9, ISO200. Cropped and resized, but not edited:
