Mineral moon (24/01/24)

[Kon]

I have not done any lunar imaging in a long time and a quick capture from last night. Waxing Gibbous at 99% illumination. Captured with an 8" Dob, Nikon D3200. Hue saturation in Gimp to bring up the mineral colours.

That's lovely Kostas, very nicely done.. The saturation is just enough to bring out the colours without becoming garish.

Oh no! Not another thing to learn 🙄🤣. Lovely image Kostas.

Nice! I like how you get crater details near the terminator when the Moon is at 99% and it still looks full.

Thanks Ian. The moon can keep you busy until next planetary season, unless you want to dive into DSO imaging 🤣. I might start re-doing some rilles imaging.

Thanks Mandy. I always seem to overlook the moon in favour of the planets but it has some nice features to go after. In the past I did quite a bit of rilles imaging as they are rather challenging. I quite like the craters in the southern region as they are popping a bit more before they 'disappear' in the full moon.

Beautiful, delicate color - closer to natural than the effects of the "mineral" series.
