Another 9th April Supermoon shot

[BrendanC]

A supermoon looks very like a non-supermoon unless there's something to compare it to that makes it look super!

[wornish]

Great detail.  But, what's causing the yellow banding?

[MarkAR]

Does look a little weird.

[BrendanC]

No idea. I was really pleased with it until you pointed that out, now I think I'll go and have a little cry to myself instead.

Looks good, but did you use RGB channel align in registax?? I tried that out and got pretty similar effects.

[BrendanC]

I only used Registax for the wavelets, which might have caused this.

I actually created it by recording an avi, panning across the Moon's face, then importing that into Microsoft ICE which stitches the video together nicely to create a mosaic. Then it was StarTools, Registax and Photoshop for post-processing.

Here's another version that might have removed those artefacts. I'm still going to cry.

 

[MarkAR]

Much better, well done.
