My Moon

[fredman]

Hey guys,

This past Tuesday i got to take my first real AP of the moon.

This pic was the least shaky. Everytime i touched the camera to take a photo the OTA shaked a bit

Anyways, this one was the best of them all.

I used Nikon Capture NX-D to convert to TIF and then used Photoshop.

Hope you guys like it.

Nice image.

I think a remote site release is useful but why not for now use the timer function that should allow the wobbles to stop before the shutter opens.

Nicely done. Agree with Happy-kat. Remote shutter leads are handy, but for moon snaps using the timer on the camera helps the wobbles settle down. keep going!

Looks lovely.. The min is always fascinating no matter how many times I look at it. When are we getting a moon station so I can go on holiday there!?!
