Moon images

[shallowskies]

I managed to take more shots of the moon. This is my second time at capturing so any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Also I was wondering if there are any filters or field flatteners that would be beneficial for me?

Great images - well focussed and good exposure - how about mosaicing them together? Try MS ICE or iMerge - both are free

Thanks for that Steve. I was pretty happy with the images I took plus I didn't need to process them. As for the mosaicing, I will definitely check that out.

Yes, I've download ICE, but not tried it in anger yet.

Amazing shots, much better than anything I can get.

Great detail in these shots. Very nice.

Thanks Tibbs and thanks Paul.

Hi David

Good shots - and have you tried taking a number (say 80) then stacking? this might help the grainy black background to be a bit more silky. Great effort for your second time out! (you should have seen the mess i created on my second outing!).

Cheers

about stacking, be awere it will take time with full res images.

My server is currently still working on stacking my ~1300 images of the moon, even if they are jpg, and the process started 3 days ago, it still sais remaining time is 9 days...

But, i guess it probably wouldn't be needed with That many pics stacked though, but oh well...

On topic, very nice pics, and good focuse!

I haven't tried any stacking. Its definitely something I will be doing in the future. Hopefully with more experience I will create the images that I am after.

Alright Jannis

I'm no where near that stage. I will give you a shout when I come across that problem in say 5 yrs haha. Thanks for your comments.

Hi, I'm a total beginner and as yet haven't purchased a telescope, however I have been stargazing with binos and the naked eye. I'm interested in the photography side of this also.

So what exactly is stacking? please excuse my ignorance, but as said I'm brand new to this.

Hi Jacko.

I'm in the same position as you. I'm very much the novice when it comes to astrophotography.
