Stary full Moon

[Stardust]

Full Moon from last night overlaid on a background star scape of mine. Not sure about this, first time i've tried it and I guess it's a marmite technique. Fuji Xt2 skymax 180, 6 pane mosaic

Like this!! Nothing wrong with using post processing to give an accurate impression of what lays behind that lovely full moon :)

Great detail in the full moon.  For me the stars don't sit right.  I also don't like marmite so that's probably why. 

 

What kit did you use to take the moon image?

I'm in two minds on this but well worth doing just to see how it looks. Maybe less stars might be better.

I agree that less stars would look better, i just grabbed the first one i had but i think i have more suitable ones. As a concept  i think it adds a nice contextual background. The only time I have seen stars around the Moon was during an eclipse and we know they are there just cant see them. I will play a bit more with the technique, this was a first go.

if dimmed the background and taken down the blue which i think looks better
