Heavily processed Moon

Hello,

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.

Hope you like!

Cheers

Dennis

Absolute Rip Snorter there Dennis,

I must say I find it hard to get rev'd up over the Moon but this is a stunner of an image, I love it.

Love the colour, amazing resolution and scale.
Exceptionally well done Dennis.:thumbsu p:

Regards
Trevor

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%.

Cheers

Dennis

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

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!
