The Moon - 13 days old

[Back to the Lunation Index]

The following image shows our natural satellite 1 day before Harvest Moon. It was taken by Chris Newsome on the 16th September 2005. A total of around 1500 images were taken of different areas of the moon and the individual images were stacked in Registax v3. Once each 'final' image of an area of the moon had been produced, the whole set were mosaicked together in Photoshop v7. The images were further processed so that each segment matched as closely as possible the one next to it, using un-sharp masks and curves. All of the images were taken in greyscale. Chris used a Celestron C6-N and a Meade LPI to take the images.




The following two images of the Moon were taken by Chris Newsome on the 23rd January 2005 through his Celestron C6-N using a Meade LPI camera. Further information is provided on the pictures.
