Here is my first attempt at the Moon since getting the Nikon D80. Imaged on 5th August 2007 to practice for the eclipse.

81 exposures with D80 through C8 with f/6.3 focal reducer stacked with Registax.

Thanks Houghy.

This is the first image of the Moon I've taken since about 1988 when I was 16.

And here is the same image after playing with hue and saturation and scaled down by a factor of 2.

I wonder if the different colour represent differences in surface composition.

Fantastic images Doug, really sharp.


Yes, it does. Don't ask me what minerals, though :) But it's fairly common for lunar imagers to do that. They look great.
