Details:
After taking images of the Moon every day for 18 consecutive days, it was interrupted by 2 days of clouds. Yesterday and this morning was clear and when I started tracking the Moon it was directly behind an LED streetlight.
I was not aware that there was an occultation of the Beehive this morning but indeed it was occurring, if I would have known I would have changed to a faster ISO to reduce the problems with stellar tracking, so here is the best I got.
