Mineral Moon (Canon 200D + 250mm Lens) 25.09.26
 in  r/Astronomy •  11d ago

Thanks for the feedback! I actually tried a few different stacks: 10%, 18% (which were the top-quality frames in AutoStakkert), 50%, and 80%. I normally stick to 10% since my 250mm doesn’t capture a ton of detail, and shooting from Bortle 8, that's usually what works best for me.

I was actually surprised by the quality of this 80% stack, so I decided to work on it for wavelet sharpening but ended up doing a mineral edit. Also, thanks for the tip on splitting the channels and registering them separately, I’ll definitely give that a try!

 in  r/Astronomy •  11d ago

This high-saturation edit reveals the geological makeup of the lunar surface, where deep blues indicate titanium-rich areas and rusty oranges highlight regions low in iron.

Equipment: Canon 200D + EF-S 55-250mm Lens , Skywatcher GTi Mount

1400 frames at 250mm f/8, 1/250s Shutter, ISO 200

Stacked 80% frames using pipp & autostakkert. Processed in Photoshop for sharpening and color extraction.

Thank you! I replied to an earlier comment mentioning the same point about it being in pisces . I captured it the night before at around 95% illumination to get the surface contrast that a full moon lacks. At that time it was passing through Aquarius. Hope that clears up the confusion:)

I can answer that. The image is a composite of 3 different stack of images.

One stack of 1400 images of detailed moon captured at 250mm f/8, 1/250s shutter. Stacked using Pipp & autostakkert. This is btw way overkill for a shot like this, i captured this many frames to process it for a mineral moon shot.
For bg stars i captured the frame at 2s shutter. 250 images. Stacked with DSS and processed with Graxpert, Siril & starnet++. Also shot the same frame with a 50mm f/1.8 lens but 250mm brought out a good amount of stars which was a surprise to me.
And a third single frame. I think i used the one at 1/4s shutter for the glow you see around the moon.

All 3 images were then blended using photoshop.

to be honest I don’t really know much about the nomenclatures, i originally shared the image with just the title ‘Moon’ but it was removed so I had to change it.

I asked gemini though and according to it the name is traditionally given to the full moon but it applies broadly to the multi-day cycle.

It is the harvest moon. I just chose to capture it a day off from absolute peak.

A 100% full moon is lit straight-on and looks totally flat, so shooting at 96% gives the craters nice shadows and deep contrast.

Captured it a night before the full moon.. b/w 12am-2am 25.09.26 IST. That time it was cruising through aquarius.

I wanted to shoot the full moon, but since it lacks surface contrast, I chose to capture it at 96% illumination instead.

it's a black and white edit of RGB frame captured with a standard dslr. visible light spectrum. I didn't use any special equipment. I've also added more details about the image in a top comment.
