Taken with what Karlo? looks good.

And is that Chubs back with us, I haven't seen a post from him for ages. If so, welcome back Chubster.

No that's no mosaic, shot with the recent addition, 300D, thru the 80mm (F/11).I think it was ISO 200 AT 1/300sec.

I'm rather pleased with it.

Ta guys.

Hello Chubster, I remember reading your posts just b4 I intro'd myself. I've stil got last nights webcam stuff to look through and process.

Nice shot 8)

Very nice I bet it'll respond well to some photoshop trickery, I'll have a bash later if I get a spare 10 mins, assuming someone else doesn't beat me to it.

[FLO]

OK, a very quick play. I'm sure others will do better but it shows a little of what's possible.

[beamish]

I've another full moon shot(probably not too different to that attempt by Steve (cheers).

Hi Karlo

The full moon is not an easy thing to image.

You did well.... 8)

[beamish]

Thanks Jamie, looking at the 2nd one now I think I've over cooked it .So this am I've followed Trevboyd's eg and tried stacking the 300 D's in reg 4 and I feel this attempt is a little better, tell me what you think- I've really enjoyed this imaging, given me a real buzz!

The original is a great shot and Steve has worked some magic bringing out the contrast. How did you do it Steve - was it the lab colour, luminence layer thing?

Were you using a filter, it can help with the contrast?

[beamish]

My V polariser and the Baader Moon & skyglow are both 2" and I wasn't planning on imaging with the 80mm (1.25 fit) so in short no, no filter. I quite like this last one inspite of the lower contrast but it feels more natural to what was seen on the night. I'm still tinkering so we'll see. It's all very new to me. This has really been the 1st chance I've had. Shame the weather's turned carp 'cos I was hoping to try the same again but with the Cape- now I've the bits I need I've HIGH hopes !!

I had a go at processing the last image you posted Karlo (hope you don't mind)

I had to over cook it a bit to get some of the detail to show...

[beamish]

it's always going to be subjective isn't it but I think this is the last one

no I don't mind Jamie, in truth I had a few that looked a bit like that but I'm just going to have to be patient and let the natural detail come out in the waning moons. It's been a real learning curve though re processing.Quite confusing trying to keep track of them all.

How did you do it Steve - was it the lab colour, luminence layer thing?

Yes, I just removed the colour fringe, switched to Lab colour and applied some local contrast enhancement. It lacks the fine control of curves but is quick and easy. The fringing is unusual in that it is yellow/green one side but blue(ish) the other...

[jonifive]

Flippin 'eck Karlo, I missed this one. They are great images. You really managed to capture it well. I find it really difficult without over exposing it. Well done matey!

[beamish]

Hello and cheers JV, it's okay and I like it for what's essentially an novice effort me thinks. Can only improve from here on. Still need to get my head around PSE (laptop) and PS 2 (PC) regards processing.

That last one shows the olive colour that I have noticed in the maria quite often, although a little more olive than I usually see. Nice work.
