NoelC Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Hyper-Saturated Super Moon, September 9, 2014Okay, I let it go a couple of days past full for a bit more drama at the edge. These are natural colors, just more saturated than what you normally see. They show off the different minerals from which the moon is made up.Image created from 17 partially overlapping frames shot through Meade LX200 GPS UHTC 10" telescope with Powermate 2x optic making 5000mm f/20. Canon EOS-40D to capture the pixels at ISO 100, 1/40 second, Camera Raw 8.6 to convert the raw files and Photoshop CC 2014 to stitch it all together on a Dell Precision T5500 workstation. Full sized stitch was a bit more than 17,000 pixels square, and took about 2 minutes for Photoshop to do... -Noel Edited September 10, 2014 by NoelC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTS Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 THat is nice Noel. Very creative. I imagine the same thing could have been done with an regular camera of equality in color film, and overlapping properties of camera, and television displays. Nice work, really I mean it. . . . Now if that was only Saturn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks. I have actually shot images of Saturn, some 8-1/2 years ago, through the same telescope, using a camera called a "Meade Lunar/Planetary Imager" -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
