Night of the Perseids Moon

Before the Perseids came out, I enjoyed the waxing gibbous Moon. The seeing and transparency were sub-par, but I chose the best 46 of 290 images for this stack and I'm pleased with the result.

Questar 3.5" telescope with a Sony a6300 at prime focus. Exposed 1/40 sec at ISO 200 on 2016-08-12 02:59 UT. Stacked and deconvolved in Lynkeos. Final exposure, color balance, and crop in Photoshop.
