Hunter's moon

[Yawning Angel]

I had intended to get some DSO work done tonight...but, yeah, weather. However, I did manage to grab a quick 1000 frames each RGB as the moon played hide and seek

I then slewed to my intended target, got clouded out, parked the scope to wait it out then had to slam the obs roof due to a sudden downpour! Wiped everything down, dehumidifier on -  so got on with processing this instead

Hunter’s Moon: asi1600mm / 80ED @510mm (not ideal, but it was mounted)

Inverted shows it off nicely:

A little drab, even with the saturation pushed

That's really nice! The ray patterns show up really well. I don't think it looks drab at all.

Thank you! It's growing on on me 😆

Echo the "not drab" the moon doesn't always have to contain electric blues lol.

What you lose in detail with lower contrast/saturation you gain in immersion as far as I'm concerned. Just more believable as "real" even if it's still manipulated.
