leica q2m: moon displacement phenomenon

took some photos on a tripod with the leica q2m with base iso between 1 and 4 seconds and my moon was displaced in some random parts of the photo depending on the angle I took the picture with against the sky. is this again part of the leica digital internal lens correction? if so, it really sucks. I don't like fake moons

do you have a filter on? if so, could be internal relection?

It’s a reflection when using filters.  Happens to me all the time when I stack a color and black pro mist and shoot into very bright lights at night.

thanks for the replies, I was using the official leica dust filter UVa II, guess I have to try without it then

On the bright side, it does make for a rather interesting photo.  Had you not explained, people seeing it would say "wow, look at that."🙂

Vir212K,   I agree with Siriusone59.  Your photograph is interesting.  You could also simply tell viewers if asked, "Its a rare photograph of earth's 2 moons".  Most would believe you too.  Or..."I took this photograph on a planet that has 2 moons"...again most would believe you.  Be sure to tell the simple story with a straight face...makes it even more believable.  All joking aside, it is a reflection from the filter.  You would be best to remove it for bright lights.  I only use UVAII at the sea or bad weather.  r/ Mark
