Moon Closeups - 8 Dec

[lazjen (Chris)]

I discovered a feature in BackyardEOS that's probably obvious to everyone else, but took me far too long to realise - that you can take planetary video in the "5x" mode. For some reason I thought it was for previewing / focus and it didn't record.

So these images are really 1 accident and then "OMG I can do that" heaps of video taken...

Here's some of the images. All processed in Autostakkert with some light cleanup processing after that (levels, sharpening)

Coool, Nice and sharp Chris. a little too contrasty for more a natural look, but great details tho

Thanks for that feedback Bob. I'll have another go at processing the images sometime since I did alter the contrast. I guess it was too excessive.
