Moonstack #49


First full Moon with the SX1! Not quite perfect because of some light cloud cover and still a bit noisy, but it’s a good effort nevertheless and much bigger and more detailed than with the S5!

Moonstack #48


Another chance to test out the SX1 for Moon photography today – but again, the source images were far away from perfect, because it was not quite dark yet and it took a lot of playing around with filters, brightness and contrast to get this result. This was again stacked from 10 photos.

Moonstack #47


Finally a proper chance to test out the SX1 with the Moon – although I have messed this up a bit because I had the camera set to a higher ISO accidentially. I stacked ten of them together with RegiStax and the result is not great, but a good example how HUGE the Moon has now become – the larger zoom and the higher resolution let me get a lot closer now!

Moonstack #42 – Super Harvest Edition


My 42nd stacked Moon is another Supermoon from yesterday, the last one of this season. About 15 frames combined with RegiStax and processed a bit more to bring out some more details. More resolution isn’t possible with my Powershot S5, but I still try to get something out of it :-).

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this photo from March – Astrophotography meets Planespotting!

Moonstack #41


One week after the Supermoon and it’s noticeably smaller now, not only because we see only about half of it! As usual, this is stacked from about 10 images of my Canon Powershot S2 at 12x Zoom.
