Adobe Lightroom / Luminar.

Image Details:

The smoke from the California wildfires really cut down on the illumination of the moon. I thought the camera or telescope was malfunctioning at first because I couldn't see the moon in Live View. Had to slow the shutter down to 1/50s at ISO 2000 before the moon appeared.
