Full Moon Spider

[oska (John)]

I figured I'd give imaging a go during the full moon, as you do. The gradients were combatted (mostly) by stretching with Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch in PI, Local Intensity = 15, after trying all day in vain to background extract them. No background extraction. Used a synth Lum. And "just a touch" of saturation

ASI1600MM + Antila Pro
4hrs each SHO
90s 200g 25o -10C

Nina + APP + PI

Tips, tricks & criticism most welcome.

A very excellent image John. Perhaps it should be you giving the tips and tricks.

Very nice result for doing battle with the Moon at full. Well done.

Very nicely done! The colors palette is tasteful. For a picture on a full moon night its actually quite awesome

[oska (John)]

Cheers gents.

Love the colour palette, this is the 1 target I can get from my backyard at the moment. You have inspired me to try.

[oska (John)]

Thanks Andrew, looking forward to seeing your results.

Hey John,

One of my favourites.

Skillfully handled during a full moon.

Wish I could give you some advice on gradients but I am trying to figure it out as well.

Did you use a dew shield? I think a big dew shield helps a little bit when it comes to the moon.

Thanks,

Dilshan

Thanks Dilshan, yeah the EON85 has a built in dew shield. The moon was more than 60 deg away so that helped.
