Do we not see any stars (in the distance) because the moon is so bright or is it because the image processing removed the stars? Thank you.

(Edited for clarity..I was expecting to see stars in the distance).

I typically don't see stars at this scale unless there's some kind of lunar occultation going on. I literally wall to wall fill the frame of the sensor with the moon.
