Visibility IV / V

Eemil Pietilä, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

Although I photographed the moon itself for a maximum of a quarter, it took me at least an hour more to assemble and unload the equipment. Yes, my fingers pretty much froze when I had to take my gloves off in order to get a better grip.

Fortunately, it was worth it. About 150 images of the Moon have been stacked here and the image has been sharpened slightly. At first, I had to calibrate the colors to get off the red hue caused by the modified camera. After that, I raised the saturation to bring out the colors of the Moon’s minerals. Finally, adjusting the basic contrast and brightness was no longer enough.
