Crescent Moon

My first go at astrophotography. After looking at the images on here I'm almost embarrassed to post this.

Nikon D7200 with 200-500mm lens on tripod. 2 minute video processed with PIPP, AutoStakkert, Registax and Lightroom.

Any advice/criticism gratefully received.

Wow, that’s quite something! How does the processed image compare with your best single frame (my usual approach)?

I'm not sure how to separate individual images from the video

You certainly shouldn't be embarrassed, that's a great picture. You have processed it well with a smooth range of tones and no highlight blowout and avoided the trap of going bananas with oversharpening.

Advice- don't be overly critical of yourself.

A nice image indeed.

Now you have dipped ypur toe into astrophotography- nurture a good relationship with your bank manager.

Excellent for a first attempt.
