2021/04/30 - 84% Moon

[JimFox]

From last week as the moon was working from full moon towards new moon coming next week. This is at 84%.

I took 66 photos, converted them to tiff in ACR, and then used Autostakkert to stack them. I used 75% of the 66. I pushed the saturation a bit to get some color out of it.

All comments are welcome as I am trying some new things with my moon shots.

More colorful than I am used to seeing but some nice details.

Yeah, the mineral moon look can be odd because we normally don't see those colors since it's reflecting the sun so much.

The mineral moon does remind me though of back in science class and seeing photos like this in the text books.

Fantastic detail

Very nice - but I would love to see a less is more approach where you flip it and keep say the top 25% and throw out 75%. Might be indistinguishable, but might be crisper.

The color is nice and looks about 'right' to me (whatever that means )
