Moonstack #110


A slightly better looking Moon from November 21. I was recently asked why I always put Moonstack into the title – it’s because I stack several images (usually between 10 and 20) with Registax to improve the image quality. The camera is only a second-hand Canon Powershot SX1 without any additional lenses – at 20x zoom, which is 560mm in DSLR terms, the Moon is just about 550-600 pixels wide. But this is still amazing considering the camera had just cost me €80 a year ago.

Moonstack #109


This is an older attempt at capturing the Moon from November 18. I never processed it and it’s actually a bit unsharp, but because I don’t have any photos for the last post of the day I’m just throwing it in as an example how to make something halfway decent out of a less optimal source image.
