Tuesday night (11 June) the Moon did not set until well after midnight. I wanted to test a specific lens on the Milky Way, so I just had to wait.
 |
| 5.5-d Moon. E-M1iii + Canon FD 300mm f/4. ISO 200, 1/400 s. |
I did not wait for official Moonset (12:44 am Wed). When the Moon dropped below the Bristol Head ridgeline around midnight, that was good enough. The sky brightness was still a respectable sqml=21.35.

| Milky Way rising. Sony A7iii + Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 + Sparkle-6 filter. ISO 1600, 30 s. |
 |
| Summer Triangle (Deneb, Vega, Altair). Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 + Sparkle-6. |
This copy of the lens has some problems in the upper left corner. In spite of this, the results are not bad considering that the moon was lurking just out of sight.
