Full moon image

In general full moons can be a bit bland but managed to get a reasonable image out this shot. May have something to do with good seeing from the back yard. 450D stack 20 images.

Only small amount of wavelet processing and levels.

You've done a good job as far as exposure & ISO is concerned however I think it'd look better in mono. Just my opinion.

I've found that with stacking, I haven't found any advantage by stacking any more than 4 but that would certainly depend on what ISO you take them at.

Nice image.

I forgot to adjust the whitebalance on the RAW images. I usually do this but I processed the images very late last night.

Managed to reprocess the image this time, try not to waste time as I did before. Used 4300K whitebalance.
