Moon from 26/10 and a comparison

[Yawning Angel]

My C8 has been in residence on the mount for the recent Mars fuss, but it's time for some deeper object, so back on went the SWED80 / asi1600

Of course, this meant the first object targeted was the moon 🙄 Dodging rain showers I was only able to get a single L stack of 500 frames, which came out clean but it isn't this setup's forte / however, it did produce an interesting result when exporting the final image from the .tif.

Below is the same image, exported from PS as a PNG and a JPG. There is a distinct difference, most notable in the shadows - to my eyes, the PNG is handling the image in a more subtle way, where as the JPG has exaggerated the contrast - most noticeable in the Sea of Serenity

Feel free to save them out and blink between them.

Interesting comparison. Certainly can see the difference.
