New Year's Moon

 The first full moon of 2026 occurs on Saturday, 3 January.  This is an image of the moon on New Year's evening, two days before full.

Equipment: AT72EDII refractor


Only short star exposures are possible because of the bright moon light.  These are 20-sec exposures of two well-known clusters:

M45, the Pleiades

 
The Double Cluster in Perseus
