Here is a 2 pane mosaic of the moon taken through the Tak Mewlon 180 with the Canon 40D. I have processed it quite heavily for the detail and a slight colour saturation.
Whoa Dennis. Brilliant shot. My main interest is always the Moon - it's the most detailed object we can see by far I reckon.
Greg Bryant from AS&T has asked me for my moon shot that I did with my Tak MT-160 a while back for the next issue. I'm going to suggest that he uses yours.
Thanks guys, like Chris (Omaroo), the Moon is one of my favourite objects – always welcoming and so forgiving of poor seeing when captured at the prime focus.
This was a rework from a session in Oct and I got the image looking as sharp and natural as possible in CS4 and then used the Topaz Labs Plug-in, “Topaz Detail” which boosted the micro contrast without introducing noise or sharpening artifacts. This made a HUGE difference - I like this Plug-in very much!
I ran the Plug-in on a separate Layer and then blended it in as Luminosity at 50%.

Hi Chris
Download “Topaz Detail” as a 30 day free trial and punch your MT-160 Moon (it was a cracker of a shot!) through it and I reckon it would come up just a treat for publication in AS&T!

Cheers Dennis - way ahead of you! LOL! I think that I'll be buying the whole bundle. What a great bunch of plugins!!!! Thanks so much for the heads-up!
I'll give the MT-160 shot a burl, but I still reckon that yours is massively spectacular and deserves to be the one!
