Popular Post Vicki Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hey all! Sorry I've been quiet of late. My mojo returned momentarily last night to grab a quick bit of Luna. I'm glad I set up when I did. Seeing was a bit rubbish but beggars can't be choosers huh! This is a 7 panel mosaic with 225 frames per pane. This is my favourite phase as there's so much on offer to see. SW 130P and GPCAM2 290c SharpCap, AS3, ICE, Registax, Photoshop 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 You did well to get that as there were a fair few clouds about. (At least where I am). Nice shot🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightspore Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Nice picture. Good view of the 'Moon Maiden'. I saw the Moon with my 60EDF last night, then turned to double stars. I got two whole hours before ... clouds lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Very nice Vicki, looks like a slight "Mineral Moon", might be worth stretching the colours a bit.

Dmack1 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thats really nice. I am hoping to try something like that since I have no astrodark at the moment. Can I ask how you bring out the colours? Is it just increasing saturation or is there more to it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeawayObsy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I tried a couple of "Mineral Moon" shots earlier this year. The method I used is detailed at https://www.star-gazing.co.uk/WebPage/guides/mineral-moon/ . I used a 150mm Ritchey-Chretien telescope, a ZWO ASI1600MM monochrome camera and I took several images in Red, Green and Blue for the full Moon shot, and InfraRed, Red and Green (mapped to Red, Green and Blue, respectively) for the 9-day old Moon. The biggest issue I have with doing Mineral Moon shots is that I am colour-blind, in my case I am severely insensitive to Red ( and my green receptors aren't exactly models of perfection, either). So what I'd like to do is to get an idea of the respective transmission percentage of each of my filters. I can do this with my modified DSLR by taking a picture of an 18% grey card. I suppose I could take images of a G5 star, making sure that they are all of the same exposure and none are saturated. Should I then take images of, say, Betelgeuse in Red and InfraRed to get the relative transmission of the IR filter? Then, as long as my exposures through the filters are the same, I can adjust the brightness of them when to produce a true colour image before I "mineralise" it. Does this seem reasonable? Thanks for your thoughts and comments, Roger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
