does anyone know how to switch the moon off!

[Wirral man]

clear night and a far to bright moon?

[SilverAstro]

Buy a new camera, then you wont see it again for atleast 6 lunations

[nightfisher]

not a problem..........have some quality time with the Moon

[mikeDnight]

Switch the Moon Off!? ???

• It's by far the most fascinating object in the sky, and nothing compares to it in its magnificence! ?

[DRT]

Shout "GO AWAY MOON!" and then wait two weeks.

It works every time  

[martinl]

Make a project out of photographing the moon through its phases? That’s something I’ve considered, at least. Either the full disk or a favourite feature. It could make a nice animated gif. 

[Alfian]

Yup, not much point cursing the moon when you could be "flying" over a very interesting landscape.

There is a long piece of grubby  looking chord hanging from it that has a little white plastic traingle shaped tie up on the end..... just give it a tug and bobs your uncle ?

No, sorry, you fail to understand the fundamental relative laws of the universe as set out by Albert Murphy :

Once he makes a Project, he wont see it again,

for at least 7 lunations

Huh, all I can see is 8 octans oktas of wet blanket, no need to tug anything,

except the top off this bottle , ,  hic.

Invest in a 3nm Ha filter and go mono deep sky imaging despite the Moon.

By the way, it's raining here and I don't have a filter for that ...............

[SilverAstro]

I used to filter it,

then put it in a barrel and use it for breeding my discus

Few Tsar bomba's should turn it off.. but before turning off, I think there would be consequences worse than a bright moon or cloudy nights.

 

 

[MarsG76]

Narrowband imaging tends to negate the moon glow... to a large degree.

My professor of nuclear reactor physics claimed to have asked one of the people involved in the Tsar bomba project how the test pilots dropping the bomb managed to survive. 

“Barely.”

Was the terse Russian response...

[Galen Gilmore]

A reoccurring problem that FLO should solve.

They have already solved clouds with the Zarkov Cloud Gun, why not a Moon Zapper? 

[spillage]

Ha filter will solve this issue. The cheapest option is to make a decision that you are going to image the moon. This will cause large amount of cloud to appear and the moon light will no longer be an issue.

I recently decided to image orion but first had a pa my mount. 1st clear night showed this constellation in all it glory but cloud in the west made my drift align in RA a real pain and took all my time up. Next clear night my western view was crystal clear but orion was covered all night in cloud..go figure!!!

In mother Russia you don't drop the Tsar bomba... the Tsar Bomba drop you...

You want the moon to go away if the night is clear, or you want the clouds to go away if the moon is new, and here i want the light pollution to go away.

Would it have to be 3nm, 7 or 12 would not do it?

[steppenwolf]

It really is a case of the narrower the better.  12nm is really too wide to be honest but a 7nm Ha would be useable.

What he said.

 

[DarkAntimatter]

You could ask Bruce but I think he knows better now.

[DaveS]

Yep, agree with Steve, a 3nm Astrodon is your friend. Your bank manager might not agree though .

[Atreta]

I'll switch it off today for a few minutes for you.

Edi: looks like i won't be able to switch it off in england  and also not here in brazil
