I tried out the new Preserve Details 2 feature in PS CC 2018 and it seems to work pretty well. Here's a crop of a portion of the moon after I enlarged 200%

The original was shot at an effective field of view of 1200mm using my FE 100-400 lens + 2x extender on my Sony a6500.

The sign is pointing towards Gene's Place. That's where the flag is. :lol:

I was pretty happy with how the enlargement worked out. You can see it a bit larger on my Flickr page as well as a short video shot in 4k then cropped to 1080p.

I just showed your moon shot to my wife, she asked 2 very good questions I did not think of:

"Who is Gene", and..... "What is Gene's Place"?

The short video was nice :)

Well, I'm Gene and where I live is "My Place". :-)

Here's one more shot of the moon I took on the 30th and also enlarged 200%.

I hope it looks OK too.

And since you are former Navy you have the flag at Gene's Place!

How do you like living on the moon???? <grin>

I thank you for your service!

I should have looked at your signature

Is that OK? Holy Cow that is Gorgeous!

What lens, or telescope did you use on your Sony camera?

Thanks. Notice that the sign is pointing down towards the earth and Gene's Place. :)

For these moon shots, I used my new Sony FE 100-400GM lens + the Sony 2x extender on my Sony a6500 which is a 1.5 crop camera. That gives me an effective focal length of 400mm x 2 = 800mm x 1.5 = 1200mm.

Here's an image I have of the lens and 2x extender on my a6500 camera. This also shows the Kirk acra-swiss compatible foot I got for the lens.
