Will a 4% raising moon ruin a long exposure to shoot the stars?
If you're using the astrotracer then the contrast may be reduced very slightly by a 4% moon (and by slight I mean almost not at all).
Also factor in the fact that the moon won't be up for long at this stage.
I've shot at up to 50% illumination and in most cases I find that good post processing reduces the negative effects of the extra light.
Fainter objects may be washed out though.

will I be able to shoot at with 4% moon or I shouldn't even try?
You can see some of my photos here if you are so inclined
