OK. Perhaps it's easier to get the colors with a reflector. I tried it earlier with a little refractor, too.

I've tried this more than once and only had decent success one other time. I was a little concerned about this one, too, because there was a cirrus cloud in front of the moon while I was imaging. These images were made with the Epsilon-200. I've noticed that the ST80 doesn't produce good moon colors--maybe due to chromatic aberration.<br /><br />I got rid of the background on the negative image using the fuzzy-select tool. Look carefully at the right-hand side and you can see a little bit that was left over.RoryGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200628155673456582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977859904854142487.post-15304923984841637442012-08-04T21:28:18.322-07:002012-08-04T21:28:18.322-07:00Rory, this is awesome!

Never thought to do that, probably because the background would change, too, but you've solved that, somehow.Polaris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572022039526168617noreply@blogger.com
