"Hello Moon"

During the night of May 26th, 2021, I didn't think I was going to be able to get a good angle on the full moon that was out since it wasn't supposed to get high enough to clear the tree line in my backyard. I decided to image a few other things instead. A little later in the night, I went outside to make sure the telescope wasn't going to hit the tripod legs and found that the moon was beaming its light through a hole in the trees, glaring right at the telescope. So I slewed the telescope to point to the moon and managed to take photos for about five minutes before the moon began to creep back behind the trees.
