webcubus, 1 month ago to astrophotography

The sun and moon captured about 6 hours apart on April 23. The sun was super active with tons of sunspots and the moon was 100% full. I captured the moon right after it cleared the trees and the color is unedited.

Both were captured from my backyard with my QHY168C camera and EQ6-R mount. I used a homemade solar filter with Thousand Oaks film for the sun shots.

The moon!!

Local weather said smoke from the Canadian fires would be high up in the atmosphere today, which must be why it is the color of a peach.
