Welcome to the Cloudy Nights Reader’s Gallery Submission Forum. Each month, we ask Cloudy Nights members to submit their best Lunar photos in this thread.
For your photo entries, please provide a description that includes: Your First and Last Name; Date of photo (can include the time); Description (title) of the image; Relevant photo information (exposure length and equipment used).
This is important! If you don't supply ALL information, we won't be able to use your photograph!!!!
Please note: due to copyright issues, all photos MUST be original (If they aren't then you will be banned from this section of the forum!).
To facilitate the judging we respectfully ask that you not enter comments in the photo thread. You will find a commentary thread for the Lunar photo entries. Thanks and good luck!
This image was captured on Nov. 10. It is a matrix of the six images needed to get the whole thing in the FOV of the scope. Each image was 1/15 of a second at ISO 100 with a Canon 20D on the back of our 8" f/14.1 Alvan Clark refractor. The images ("Large" JPEGs) were stitched with Canon's PhotoStitch and processed in Photoshop CS2. The blue channel has been eliminated to kill the chromatic aberation and the other channels have been mixed in monochrome.
The full resolution version is 5720x4778 pixels and has a LOT more detail but it's also about 80 megs which I think is a tad over the limits in the forum guidelines.
