nice one

That is indeed really nice. I love the brownish tint, added in post processing? If so what software did you use? Great gear by the way

Compared to a stacked version it is fun to see the wobble that the atmosphere introduces at the left edge, it gives it a more alive feel to the Moon, reminiscent of visual observing. Love the craters on the right edge.

It's a 3 frame bracketted exposure run through Photomatrix, no additional colour has been added. 1/50 sec @ f8 was the middle exposure +/- 1 stop to get a bit more dynamic range.

[MrJulius]

A high dynamic range image then?

Really nice image, I notice a touch of graininess is that down to the JPG? how does it look in RAW?

Only slightly, my mid exposure was about 1/2-1 stop too low for the best spread which gave a touch of noise in the shadows

The bracketted images were slightly underexposed which I corrected during the conversion to Tiffs, this lifted the noise in the shadows.The optimum exposure doesn't have any noise @ iso 200

If you use Photoshop you may already have done this............ a click on Auto Colour gives an interesting comparison.
