Timing

As I posted a few days ago, I got a tripod so I could take star photos, hopefully at least as good as the one above. Borrego Springs is a Dark Skies town so there should be very little light pollution while taking my star photos. All set, right?

Except for one thing. The full/fullish moon. It overpowers the stars, and it's up almost the entire night. Rats. I'll have to wait a week or so. I'm good at waiting. Sometimes.
