Day time Moon

Another attempt at shooting the Moon, in daylight this time.
Nikon D80, Bresser Skylux 70mm, T-adapter, prime focus.

That's a really beautiful shot.

A great shot there Leo, the skylux is a fine scope for lunar imaging, the optics look pretty good. The bluish sky adds to it.

Nice work Leo.
Moon contrasts very nicely with the blue sky.

Here's a similar one I did a while back:

:bigshock: Wow! Now, thats what I call a moon shot. Yours is what mine aspires to be.
That really is a fantastic image. The detail is just stunning.

Guess what my new desktop background is....... at least until I can do one, at least half as good.

Was that a single shot or is it stacked from multiple images?

Looking back at my origional effort here, I can see that I badly over-processed it.:blush:
Below is my 2nd attempt which, hopefully is a bit better.



Really struggling with the whole post-processing.
