77% Moon from Feb 4

[GraemeH]

I set up with the intention of getting more data on M42 despite the proximity of the moon (I know it was a silly idea, but it's been ages since I saw a clear sky).  It soon became obvious that I was wasting my time, but I didn't feel like switching my gear to shoot with my Edge HD8 so I just decided to grab some shots of the moon with my ED72 for some fun.

This is a stack of the best 150 from 500 frames (1/250 s @ ISO100), prepared in PIPP then stacked in AS!3, gentle wavelet sharpening in Registax then final adjustments in PS CC.

I like it. 

But then I am a nut for the moon.

I really like that...  very nice colouring.  I really need to start capturing some colour in the noon instead of mono all the time!
