First go at full moon with Canon 450D

[Russe]

This is a stack of 50x 1/1000s exposures at ISO 400 with my Canon 450D (unmodded) on a Mak 127.

PIPP conversion into Tif, stack in Registax 6, wavelets, PS5.

here's the link to the tif file:

some nice detail going on focus looks good. it looks a bit dark to me though?

[Luke]

Very impressive first go

Thanks for that...

Contrast and brightness was slightly lowered in PS6 as bottom (top) of the Moon was in my opinion overexposed, but time constraints and the need to go to work meant i had to call it a day....

next time.. AS THEY SAY..

Hi,

That is quite special, well done.

Not on my laptop but on my iPhone... Odd indeed...

Good image. I like It. Is that camera with adaptor direct to viewfinder?

[Pete Presland]

looking good, nice first effort!

Have processed my other stacks.

All were 50x exposures, PIPP, Registax, PS5.

1st ISO 400 1/800s

2nd ISO 400 1/1250s

3rd ISO 1600 (forgot exposure...)

Some great shots there. loads of detail. 

[Okeydokey]

Great first go!  Wish I had something more constructive to add but... like what you have achieved

[leelee970]

Very nice indeed, well done.

Russ - still trying to get my head around stacking and which software to use.

One thing that confuses me when you did you 50 shot stack, was the camera in a fixed constant position or did it track, and also how long did it take to do the 50 shots - were they literally continuous

thanks

[Russe]

Camera was attached to my 127 Mak.

I'm using APT to take pictures, so yes 50x shots short after another (2s break).

Then PIPP to crop and convert cr2 to tiff.

Then registax6 to stack and wavelets.

Then PS5 for levels & curves.
