| This was my first attempt at photographing the Moon with my Meade Deep Space Imager and my f/5 120mm Orion achromatic refracting telescope . Note that all image are taken with a 90 degree diagonal so the orientation of the moon is a bit funny. The files so created were then further processed with Corel Photopaint 9 using the unsharp mask, tone curve, hue, Gaussian blur and contrast. All of these are eyeballed for best iamge. The temperature was about 20o F for both shots. |
| 11/28/2004 8:45 am PST - Several images were stacked (perhaps 20 or 30). Since this was one of my first shots with the DSI, I wasn't paying attention to the exposure times and number of stacked images. |
