Good day,
These photos are from a recent series.
1. A JPG converted from a CR3 file, cropped to post on the forum. Otherwise no editing.
2. A TIF taken and converted from a stack of 8 using Registax.
Run through Topaz Sharpen, then saturated using Photoshop.
The blue perimeter and lines of latitude have me stumped. Overall it is not a bad photo otherwise. The craters are reasonably clear.
This is what prompted my search for a higher quality shots of the moon. Nardes shots are the gold standard in my search. To reach someway near that would work well. Operating within a framework of equipment that allows for some changes by swapping gear.
There seems 3 options for astro shots:
Camera and suitable lens structure (+1.4X, 2X etc.?),
Camera, lens etc. and tracking unit,
A telescope and attached camera + a tracking unit if possible.
With respect to Don Quixote perhaps it is an impossible dream and I get on with what I have.
Any hints and help with editing will be much appreciated. Thanks for the time photographers have given. I would like to think that in the future I am able to reciprocate to the forum.
Kind regards,
Journeyman
