Full Moon Afocal again.

[Inmykombi]

Here is the last Full Moon I took on the 9th / 10th April.

It doesnt look as good as the original before the reduction.
I still cant make them look as good when I reduce their size for the web.

Afocal method again, through 18mm ED eyepiece and a Meade 4500 Newt. scope.
And Canon compact digital Camera.
A little bit of change to the contrast and brightness and sharpness as well.
I have been waiting to get a 100 percent Full Moon for ages , but I think that this one has a little bit of shadow on the edge even though IIS web site said 100%.

Anyhow, here it is.

I almost have a full set of Phases from a whole Month now.
I am only 2 x waxing phases short of the full set.

Heres hoping....

Thx for looking again.

Your'e getting good at this.....

[Inmykombi]

Thanks for the comments.

I just wish I could figure out how to make the images Bigger and still have them sharp with only 200KB allowance.

Thx to you too Trevor.

I do enjoy playing around with the equipment that I have and can afford.
I can stretch it to the limits and have fun at the same time.

Cheers Petra d.

Thanks Mike and Petra.

Any comments on how to make the image as large as I see some others on IIS are welcome.
I can reduce the image for the web but other images of similar size still look 2 to 3 times the size. ????


Thx again

Hello Geoff,
There is an application called GraphicConverter by Lemke Software which will resize an image to a target size.
