While out shooting the Moon and Jupiter, I collected some photons on other Moonlit targets.

Sky-Watcher 190 Mak-Newt, Hutech HEUIB-II filter, pier mounted Celestron CGEM DX mount, unguided.

All subs in this session and Jupiter were processed in ImagesPlus, Photoshop and Lightroom.

Enjoy!

Looks like your skies have cleared a bit, nice series.

Thin cloud still hanging around but okay when the Moon is blazing!

Poured rain last night and still coming down. Fast way to get rid of the snow!!

Spent some additional time in PixInsight and Photoshop to clean up the first pass at the Hercules cluster (M13).

The Hercules Cluster (M13) is a globular star cluster containing about 300,000 stars.

I loaded up the previous image and tried to drag a few more of those 300,000 stars out of the background. I also eliminated the vertical star stretch.

This is my last pass at this target, I promise...

Enjoy!
