Nearly Full Moon
Oct 2, 2012 09:14:21 #
Question about this one is starting from the 12 o'clock position on the moon and working counter clockwise, what can I do on camera to lessen or even get rid of the extra brightness that follows the moons edge? The resulting image was only cropped in a bit.
400mm f/18 ISO100 1/25sec
Same shot tighter crop for detail of extra brightness

Personally..I like the first shot...I think the edge showing the mts. adds an interesting touch.

Beautiful shots. I love the close crop because of the detail it shows.

The photoshop tutorial on removing chromatic aberration was good, but is there any way to do it in PSE where we don't have that function?

you may want to try increasing your ISO and shutter speed.

elliptical selection tool,select the moon right up to inner edge of the aberration>select inverse>left click>fill ,select the the background with eyedropper tool>fill with color.
or right after select inverse use the clone tool and clone from the background over the aberration . It will not clone into the moon past your selection line.

For those looking for correcting lens distortion in PhotoShop, in the latest version CS6 (and perhaps before) this option is in the Filters drop down menu.

What would you recommend those settings to be.

I got that effect when I used PSE and sharpened.
I shoot the moon now in RAW.. Lightroom seems to do a much nicer job on the images. I did some noise reduction and used the "clarity" slider...which is similar to the one in PSE's ACR but much better on Lightroom 4.1.
This is a couple of nights ago with my 40 plus year old C8 telescope. I bought an adjusting lens for it so I could get the whole moon. That makes it f6.3. I use 1/500 and 1/1000 sec to help with stability so I used ISO 500. The trick for this is manual focus which isn't so hot on the olde C8.
I use remote release to further limit vibration. The C8 has a tracking motor but I didn't align precisely.
