The Official Shoot the Moon Thread

Been rainy since the above shot..... so I processed another stack from the same night. This time I stacked 175 of the 180 images shot in this series. A little better result. Posted at maximum forum size of 1600px. Hoping for another good night soon!!

Nothing new for me these days and i stopped imaging for a while, so i will post my old images then, and again, it is the "MOON", from 03 September 2018.

WOW. I thought I had something to add, and then saw a lot of these next level shots. These are awesome, folks!

Very best,

As I mentioned elsewhere... Outstanding! Thanks so much for sharing your excellent work and your help with techniques Martin!

Last night was OK for me - Moon still much too low, but seeing not bad - and I love these thin crescents!

Very best,

Thanks much for your input Martin! I actually think I DID oversharpen a bit here... but only a bit and I wanted to get something posted before going to bed. YOU know how much time goes into these things! lol Again really appreciate your input - positive OR negative! But of course I am happy you like it! The bar you set is pretty high! ))

Thanks Much andicus!

Another decent night!
Stack of 120 frames.

Not happy with the top of the frame... perhaps my stacking went awry - always experimenting. I think set too many alignment points.... or not high enough quality images. Very annoying, this was the sharpest series, but about half way across the frame I had not realized I was partially obscured by the roof of my shop and so had only 138 images instead of the 250 or so I can get. (shot this on a break at work)

Absolutely stunning work Martin. (as always)

The above shot is my fave.... beautiful rendering and incredible details but they all are fantastic.
