Moon is not so sharp as before December. Software issue?

In my recent pictures taken of the Moon, I noticed it's not so sharp as before (and it's not a focus problem). I don't know if it is due to the update 2.2.1 or just the winter athmosphere. I attached a picture of today and another back from November 2024.

FZS From the photos, the accuracy appears to be the same. During a full moon, it will indeed appear less three-dimensional. In fact, this is normal.

Had the same issue.
Use the dew heater. Wait 10 min. Start a new set of darks.
start with focus on star near your object. Not to bright! Use bahtinov mask and then start with the moon or other objects. Refocus on every new object.
Solved my Problem.

krisscross78 Thanks for the tip, I will try that.

On my monitor, the November pic looks a tad bit over sharpened. The January pic looks more "natural". For this photo, I zoomed in 4X and adjusted the focus manually although Seestar had focused very well. When the Moon is full there is very little contrast other than the edge.
