I had a question about shooting Milky Way during a fairly full moon. I am going to Florida in 10 days (Naples) and would like to try and shoot the Milky Way. Moon is big this week so not optimal but this is when my trip is. Moon is 87% full as per photo pills. There appears to be really dark skies about 45 minutes to the east, assuming I can find an alligator safe area to shoot in.
On the first day I think I have the best chance as the moon is the farthest west on those nights and therefore furthest from the Milky Way. In stellarium the moon is all the way the right(west) in this frame below. With an almost full moon should I be able to shoot the milky way at all or will it be all washed out?
If not, I wonder if a have a window near sunrise. Using photo pills, It appears that the moon sets at 4:59am and astronomical twilight as at 5:39am. Does this mean I would have a 40 minute window where I should have dark sky?
