The Full Hunter’s Moon of October 28, 2023

The Full Hunters’ Moon of October 28, 2023. 10 frames, AT60ED at F/4.8, QHY294c, UHC-S filter. 1.5x Drizzle processing.

A full moon night, but it was clear and relatively transparent.  I needed to test some scope adjustments anyway, so I figured I would just do a few of those things, get a shot of the moon and call it a night.    I ended staying up all night and shooting a variety of objects, even with a full moon from the metro.

Not only was it a full moon,  it joined Jupiter for a conjunction, and I got a shot of that plus a few others:
