Re: Does full moon below horizon affect DeepSky views?

The well illuminated moon just below the horizon knocks out at least a magnitude of faint stars at my location. It also wakes up the wildlife in the woods. In the city I never noticed the moon's influence until it was at least ten degrees above the horizon.
