A question from a beginner

Ok, I know this is probably a no brainer, but, when you try to image with a full Moon, do you tend to get a lot of sky light?
I tried to image last night with a little upper level haze and a full Moon and I got a lot of background light in the image, gray sky and all. The images were good except for this.
Also, can light reflect off of a tree and cause this?

Floyd,

Well, it probably depends on several other factors - focal ratio, exposure time, and target brightness. But yes, in general high haze, full moon, large reflecting object nearby (tree) - all would contribute to raise the background level in the image. And unfortunately, likely not evenly across the frame.

Depending on the object, what can possibly help lower the general background level is narrowband filters. Many on this forum will use a H-alpha filter on emission nebula targets for these conditions.
