Crescent Moon from 20th June 2007

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Crescent Moon from 20th June 2007

Post by rcj »

Hi all,

Apologies for a belated mosaic of the crescent moon, captured during the Desaru trip. It was rather low in altitude then, and there were some thin haze. However I think the haze did help a little to bring out the subtle tones during processing. This is a 23-panel mosaic done with the Toucam web-camera on a 5-inch refractor. I am running out of space in the webserver, so this is a much reduced version (about 30% of original).

Gosh. the image is so sharp and contrasty, it reminds of an opening scene of Treasure Planet's space port.

Must learn from you on how to take such nice photos using a webcam!!!
