Half moon sighting

Half moon sighting
Last nights waxing gibbous moon as taken from my back-garden..

Taken with my Nikon 300mm F8, Iso 250, F11, 1/200th sec. This is actually the result of 14 shots taken about 2 minutes apart and then stacked together.

Best full screen on black (of course!)

HaHa, Toz, my description of the technicalities fell on deaf ears it seems. To put it a bit simpler, I put the camera on my tripod, centered on the moon, waited 2 mins and centered on the moon again, repeating this 14 times, resulting in 14 pics total. I then used a special program (Sequator) that lined them all up properly and averaged out the exposures and sharpness. This resulted in a much smoother but sharper photos than any single one, with less noise too. -Hope this clarifies.

Glad you liked the results shown here.

Regards, Herb

Nice to see you here Dave. I hope life is going good for you. A different technique taken here as outlined in my reply to Toz. Looks liked it worked OK.
