Totality in Infra Red

[Starman]

The eclipsed Moon was quite dim in visible light but reasonably bright in IR. I managed to grab 4 quadrant shots of the Moon at the time of totality, mosaic them together and then overlay a DSLR colour shot on to. In this way the IR provides the luminance information while the DSLR shot provides colour. The result is an IR biased colour shot of totality. As the IR signal was reasonably bright, the details on the Moon could be imaged with a reasonable amount of sharpness.

Excellent pic

Imaging the Moon in IR is something out of the ordinary

Oh WOW, thats amazing Pete... 8)

Very nice 8)

Why Infra Red?

Very nice 8)

Why Infra Red?

I think it`s because it makes the coppery colour more darker so makes it more coppery lol and so makes it look alot better.

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Very nice 8)

Why Infra Red?

Dewobblification, basically.

(less affected by seeing due to the particular wavelength involved, another way to do the moon in mono is to use an Ha filter, same idea but not as effective)

[Cloudgazer]

Nice idea and a very impressive result...

You don't see detail like that very often (well I don't anyway - I haven't got a scope yet).

Thanks CC

... a reasonable amount of sharpness.

Understatement if there ever was one. That's sheer beauty.
