(nearly) Full Moon

[TakMan]

Was having a sort out of some previous data and came across this which I had forgotten about..... must be getting old! Anyway, perfect to celebrate Apollo 11's 40th celebrations!

Taken on Sunday night (March 8th) around 9.00pm

TSA102 with the 1.6x extender attached to the Nikon D3 with a Televue 2" 4x Powermate and T-Ring.

ISO 640, 1/100sec exposure, Daylight Balanced. I took 4 shots for each of the 6 segments with the intention of stacking them. Yet when I looked at them later they were all over the place. I suppose it would have been better to have waited 'till around midnight to let the atmosphere settle more (?) before starting imaging - yet an early start the next day put paid to that! Plus the fact that I've still not had a proper play with Registax....!

So: 6 individual RAW shots processed in Adobe Lightroom before being stitched together in Photoshop CS3...

Super pics Damian, I especially like the first one. Outstanding.

Thanks for that guys....

Ron - only added the 'second one' as these were some close-ups off the original which is the best part of A3 when stitched together!!!

It's just a pity that you loose so much detail when reducing the file size down (and saving as a .jpeg) to upload onto the forum....

Clear skies and thanks for looking/replying!
