The Moon - 2 days old
|
Chris Newsome took this picture of the 2.6 day old Moon on the 21st March 2007. It was taken with a Canon EOS 300D
camera through a Celestron C8-NGT telescope. It is comprised of 8 frames ranging in exposure length from 1/250th second through to 6 seconds
(at 100ASA). Each image was manually stacked and processed (opacity) in CS2 and then flattened before applying a slight unsharp mask. The
range of exposures was used so as to try and retain as much detail in the sunlit side whilst bringing out the earthshine.
