warwickshireastro Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Managed to image this ahead of the closet conjunction as the weather forecast (as with any astronomical spectacle) deteriorated rapidly. Quite happy despite the almost full moon interfering.

Very tough to deal with the gradients from the Moon and local light pollution though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful visually but the amount of clear nights we’ve had only around a full Moon has made it a somewhat frustrating object. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I’ve been out capturing the Pleiades probably the same nights as you and was looking at Mars through the binocs. I too have been plagued by gradients from the moon. Great image you have and finely composed. Edited March 20, 2021 by TerryMcK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
