Moon is up. It's hard to do Astrophotography

Ahhhh. The skies clear up, and of course it happens when the moon is up in the evenings. Astrophotography is difficult, but not impossible, when the moon is glaring in the sky. That is why I usually avoid planning astro shoots when the moons is up. However, I am not one to miss a clear night sky, so I think I might head into the mountains tonight to do some observing. Trade the cameras for the big telescopes and work on my Astronomical League Double Star list. Maybe work on the Globular Cluster list as well. I highly recommend get out in the evening, find a dark site, kick back and enjoy the stars. Rejuvenating, it is.
