Saturdays moon

[Ben Egbert]

While I was out doing time lapse at Utah Lake, I waited for the moon to appear over the mountains and set up for a video. But I did not like the way it was capturing it so I went to still settings and got the exposure and focus dialed in and took a few stills. Then I shot a long high speed burst, ending up with 91 images.

I processed these in ACR to get them into a format I could use in Registax. Then I stacked them and went through the steps from an on-line tutorial. I am not sure how well it worked, as usual nothing worked they way described. But I did end up with a saved image that I brought into Photoshop and further processed.

This is with the Canon R5 and the EF 100-400 f5.6 mk2 at 400mm., f5.6 ISO 100 1/100 sec.

Hey Ben,

It’s a learning process. It took me a few times to figure out how to video the moon.

I will have to wait until I get back home, but at a quick glance this looks really nice on my phone.

As to your workflow, you might want to change it up. Most people do the following:

1. Stack images or Video in Autostakkert
2. Preliminary sharpening in Registax
3. Finish processing in Photoshop

Will Autostakkert accept Raw files?

I don't think it will do Raw files. If you do a video I think you have to convert it to a avi file. A video is the best way to go. I wish I could help more with videos from dslr

Thanks Chuck, this is why I first ran then through ACR and cropped and converted to JPG. I will work on the movie mode before I go out next time.
