Moon Pictures

Hi everybody,

Finally got the chance to take some more photos of the moon. :X Just my second attempt at trying to take pictures of the moon. I am trying to understand the functions of the camera, a Canon EOS 450D. Happy with the results achieved so far . Thanks for the great site, and as usual the pictures are great in flickr.

Ray.:woohoo:

Nice images there Ray,
Keep up the good work.
Did you stack multiple images in registax or ar they single images?

Hey Raymond, I really like shots 1&3, these are really good attempts, the 450D is a fine camera, a helpful hint is to reduce the 'noise' in the images, you can download Noiseware for free, also there is another program for removing noise at www.mediachance.com . It's called 'Hotpixels' and will remove any really bad noise out of the shot.

Also handy is too leave the camera cool down outside in the shed to keep the sensor cool, that way less noise is produced in the shot. Good focus, the live view really helps !

Hi they are just single images, is it possible to stack images from a slr, i thought it was only from a web cam,

hi Keith many thanks for the information i will check out the web sites:)
