Yeah, it's trying for us sleepers.
It's hard to soar with Eagles, when you stay up to hoot with owls.

For me, around 0dark30 to 01:00 it appears over the riff-raff around me.
At least now I only have the power pole in my FOV.

I took my dog for his pee stop before bed last night around midnight. I noticed the neighbors next door apparently put a new light on their patio.
It's bright enough to land a 747 in their back yard. It lights up everything. Their light pollution was bad before, but this is awful.
I may have to move and leave Grandma here.

Can you stack Neodymium filters?

You have tweaked my interest in getting out the Big Tammy and putting it on my CGEM. And shooting some large objects.

Are the filters still in their boxes?
If so, no problem.

Should be a lot of fun.
Be careful how much you zoom and share!
