Moon

My friend sends me this picture with his description of his photo and his post processing…I would imagine many on here will understand what he did, I dont
my best moon pic.
The moon shot from my backyard on 020321 at 5 AM as the moon began the western portion of its arc. The angle of the sun's light at this position causes the light to illuminate the far side at such an angle as to minimize the direct reflections and glare. The sky was clear of clouds and no discernible haze, rare for Pasadena, TX; however, it was winter. I photographed the tidal tugging satellite using a Camera: Sony ILCE-7RM2, 42.2 mp, 35mm full-frame "backlit" Exmor sensor in the Sony "Super 35mm" mode crop mode, mirrorless; and a Lens: FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS + a Sony FE 1.4X Teleconverter(* causing minimum F-stop of (*) 8; ISO400, F8, 1/400 second exposure time, and an effective focal length of 840mm. I began post-processing in Adobe Camera Raw(ACR), not using the new ACR Enhance function. After opening the file in Photoshop(PS), I used the Topaz plugin DeNoise only. I did not use the PS Neural Filter "Super Zoom." I finished using a minimum number of Pixel Genius plugins and PS filters, and PS brushes. I believe the reason for this exceptional photo quality of the moon was the light, unique for Pasadena, TX, considering the effect of the emissions from the large numbers of Houston Ship Channel industries. Part of the difference could be the low temperature of the night winter air. The atmosphere's ability to hold moisture doubles; for each ten-degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature, I shot on 020321 and PP082521.

Sumo .., I understand exactly .., my method is close to the same ., however I dip my moon shots into a series of diff programs .., and never use a tele converter .., on my lenses ..,
Thnx for the post …
