48% Phase

[Emanuele]

HI all,

I know you guys are probably tired of Luna, but here's another image: 48% Phase.
This image was composed of 5 raws stacked in Photoshop CS3, for each hemisphere: north and south.
Very light post processing after that, mainly to desaturate the color on the surface.
ISO800, 1/80.

Very nice Emanuele. Plenty to take in there.

Emanuele - how the heck can anyone be tired of the good old Moon? It's still THE most interesting object overhead - by far - in my book. A nice image indeed with plenty of detail. I think that you have colour saturation just right - too many people are pumping up the colour to beyond natural appearance these days. Well done.

Thank you Rob and Chris!

Really appreciate your comments!
