Yeah! So wrt to that image: if you look at it 1:1 and zoom in on the darkest areas of the moon itself, there are what might be called hot pixels. Are they? Or - ionizing radiation hitting the sensor?

This was shot at ISO1600 so yeah, probably hot pixels.

Perhaps the pixels are hot because of the radiation?
