The moon 5-13-08

Excellent detail Jim, I cant get anything like that using
500mm x 2 converter. The moon must be closer in your
neck of the woods :)Thank you Shutterbug,
Try just before sunset. I find that I can get better detail before the moon starts getting bright.Jim
Hi Jim, Very good, just one thing missing? you need an old coyote in there somewhere. Mike :lol:
Nice shot Jim. Nicely framed too.
Hope you don’t mind me making a couple of suggestions?
Am I correct in saying that you sharpened the image?
If so, try a smaller radius next time (between 1 and 3).
Also, select a region which excludes the edge of the limb on the right side of the moon and feather it.
Due to the contrast involved, the sharpening creates a very sharp white edge to the moon’s limb.
Also, try “smart sharpen” rather than “unsharp mask”.Hope this help,
Excellent shot Jim and great detail too, I have to admit i`m very jealous as moon shots are some of my favourites…..
Thank you for the suggestions astroshot, radius was at 1.6. I will try your others.
Thank you for the nice comments Sharon and Pat.
Jim
