Help with Moon

[sanmatt]

Took this tonight. Still havent got the motor fixed so still cant track, still waiting for T ring to turn up - but still impatient so had a crack at holding the DSLR up to the scope EP.

That is what I got ^

I have PS so I wonder, how can I make it look a bit nicer please?

Thanks Sandra

You could ramp up saturation to bring out colour

Practise to get the cam on-axis and aligned better, not much image processing can do with this sorry...

Hi Sandra, there is only so much possible, but I've had a go.

Did a bit of wavelet sharpening in Registax, then brought it into Photoshop for a gentle high pass sharpen and Shadows & Highlights manipulation. Did a masked curves correction to reduce some of the central overexposure and reduce some of the the vignetting at the edges.

oh blimey thats an almighty improvement! Thanks so much. Is there a PS for Dummies book out? I have so much tio learn, and I'm struggling to get my head round it all. As usual I want to run before I can even stand up!

Thank Trull for your comments also. I'm a total beginner and jsut trying to learn

You're very welcome Sandra.

For PS there are many books, and an awful lot of tutorials on the internet. Most important is to practise—the more you try the more you will discover
