Moon Mosaic

Here is a mosaic of the moon I made using about 10 photos taken with my old Rebel (XSi) through the Tele-extender.

I had to crop the photos and only use the center because the edges of the photos start to distort in a fisheye kind of way...

Then I placed them on top of each other, adjusted the brightness and contrast, and clone stamped/heal brushed the rest... came together pretty good but I need to try again with the T1i so I can focus with Liveview.

Very nice! I only see one area that has some overlapping but overall it is very good.

I like it too - never grow tired of moon shots.

p.s. It's upside down.

She's upside down. : )

Ahh... It's Space... there is no up-side down.

True there isn't as far as that kind of technical astronomy talk BUT when you walk outside and look up at the moon and you saw this moon then which side would be upright ?? You have to remember , not everyone including yourself knew anything about no up-sde down in space when you started out . So Technically right now in the Northern Hemisphere if you walked out and saw this moon at this phase you would say this pict is "UP-SIDE DOWN" .

How do you know he isn't from down unda'?

I like the pic

True , i don't know if hes' down-unda . But it wouldn't make any difference ! If you understood how the earths rotation turned in perspective to the stars then you would know that what the main difference is is that if you live in the north and looking south the stars rise from the east (on your left) and set in the west (on your right) . If you live in the southern hemisphere and looking north the stars rise in the east but on your right and set in the west which is on your left . However the moon will look up side down to the southern hemisphere to what the northern hemisphere will see and vice-versa . This is why Jared uses the expression there is no up-side-down in space and i quoted true but depending where on this world you live will determine how the moon and everything else in space looks to all ppl .

So....., did you understand from this why it was mentioned that the moon was up-side-down since VIGER does live in the extreme northern hemisphere?

Have a nice.....

Wow.

With a name like Jared, he can only live down under. I love seeing the moon from a southern hemi perspective.

Well i guess you could outside and throw a blanket and lay down with your feet pointing north and your head pointing south and look at the moon from that perspective since your latitude ranges from 51-degs to 55-degs lat. Better have some warm wraps ...............

Nope... I live in California. I love all the debate over the position of an object in space! Actually it's not only upside down but its reversed left-to-right horizontally since i'm using a mirror diagonal and not a prism diagonal. You could also just flip the image vertically and it takes care of both perspective changes.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. I like it how it looks in the eyepiece...

PS: I didn't know Jared is a "down-unda" name... I'm actually part Irish like you PJ

LOL! no wonder everyone is confused.

If you took the picture from space perhaps but relative to earth were we all look at it from it's up side down, Let's kill that easy way out now.

When posting a picture of the moon perhaps one should mention where the picture was taken from ?

Then next time instead of making the IMAGE section a DISCUSSION section why not leave a link and post your debate in the DISCUSSION section like it should be instead of causing uncalled for CONFUSED DISCUSSION ??

When viewed from Earth using a SCT and a mirror diagonal this is the way you see it... Do you reverse and flip M13? Maybe? I don't, sorry. It's my thread and my image... I have a larger version as a desktop and look at it everyday. I like seeing it from a different perspective than I do every night when I look up.

Easy way out of what? Arguing on an Internet forum? I didn't come here to argue, merely share photos I've taken with fellow enthusiasts. If you'd rather criticize, that's fine... it doesn't bother me.

Celestron, I think you're the only one taking it seriously enough and starting a discussion from my light hearted comment that it's relative. You had 3 posts in before I even replied. Relax guy! The Internet is SERIOUS business!!!
