OUR MOON - 8 DAYS YOUNG

Location: The Ballauer Observatory near Azle, Texas
Date: March 30, 2004
Equipment: Tak FSQ-106 @ f/8 (with Extender-Q) on Tak NJP mount
Camera: Canon Digital Rebel
Exposure Information: Twelve x 1/125 exposures (single shot RGB)
Processing Information: Registration, sigma average combine, and DDP stretch in Images Plus. Sharpening, curves, and slight cropping in Photoshop CS.

Extra Info: I used a method of multiple unsharp masks in Photoshop CS to give the contrasty, sharp image. Stacking multiple images allows for several iterations of the Unsharp Mask without noise increase.
