Great.
It's just that the sky background somehow turned out blotchy.
At high magnification, it's all speckled.

Thanks! A short integration, a low object, reddened and washed out by the Moon. To clean up the gradient without artifacts would take about 20 hours, which isn't realistic this year.

Damn, I can barely manage to accumulate even 2 hours.
