Superb shots, Stu.
How does your nighttime seeing compare to the daytime? Are you able to stack many more images?
Cheers.

Hi Peter,

It's so variable, daytime and night time. It can be good during the day and poor at night or vice versa depending on the weather, time of day/night and time of year. If I were to generalise, then I'd say night time is better, more often than during the day.

Excellent sickle, Stu.

Excellent detail. If you try to "show" the dark side and do HDR, can you do anything?

Hi Ivan,
I haven’t tried that. Certainly something to consider…. Earthshine and all that.

It seems to me that it should work out, I want to try for a long time, but my balcony severely limits me in this :)
