15.7 day old waning moon 01-05-18

I had a play around with the webcam earlier in the evening but the Moon was too low and as was expected the view was like a pot of boiling moon soup.

So I went out a little later just before our neighbour was due to transit and the views were a little better. There was patchy cloud though so closeups were not the best idea. I captured 80 full disks and then the Moon was gone! Here's a stack of 40 of them.

The stack output had its saturation increased in Photoshop in varying degrees with the sharpened output from IMPPG put over the top as a luminance layer.

Super sharp set of Moons, upping the saturation does enhance the subtle colours that are visible

Great set, love the colour, though ‘silly saturation’ does live up to its name! The seeing was shocking last night. I was out trying, but settled for a few wobbly test shots before calling it a night.

Nice Moons John, I hung around until after midnight hoping to catch a pic' of the Moon and Jupiter but damn clouds wouldn't go away.
