So , in your expert opinion ( that you are more than welcome to share) what's so ( in your words) , ' Absolutely Objectionable' , about this shot ?
Taken with my terrible for luna photography 127mm Istar Achromat ?
This was taken eyepiece projection , 5mm TV Radian giving 200x , not quite dark , using my HTC one smart phone . Here it is .

Take your best shot old mate .
Zero processing , just a raw shot cropped a little for the page . .

On the Copernicus shot , just stunning ! awesome shot . Reminds me why I am a Luna , Planetary observer , so very well done .
But I need to ask how much computer enhancements have been done to acheave this beautiful shot ? .

Thanks and keep em coming .
Brian.
Firstly, I think in my own opinion acromat’s are pretty ordinary for Astro photowork except mono work, and yes I can see fringing and colour on the edges – I have colour with my cheap 127ED as well. BUT, you asked a question or postulated a statement? – You got an opinion and because you don’t like and now you are prepared to belittle and bait the person that posted?

What gives – an achromat is an achromat?


if you like it visually then great
