How did you deal with the gradients that the full moon causes? Are you using some manual editing magic or a fancy plugin for PS?

Hi I used astroart software, for pretty much the whole imaging process, the only thing I used PS for was a high pass filtering, after the mosaic was applied.

You can most likely forget the moon when Imaging Ha at 7nm.
