A colourful gibbous Moon – 7th Feb, Brisbane.

Hello,

I dusted off the old C9.25 last night and took some prime focus photos of the Moon with the Canon 40D. I had to expose 2 frames to cover the whole (gibbous) Moon.

The 2 frames were layered together in CS2 where I also boosted the saturation as a separate Saturation Layer blended in at 65%. Cropped to 970x1024 from the original 3885x4100 pixel mosaic.

Oddly enough, the jet stream map for SE Qld looked extremely promising, but the actual conditions were quite ordinary? Let's keep or fingers crossed for the Titan transit tonight.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers

Dennis
