Not too sure what to do for this one, anticipated there being lots of plugs and inanimate objects with funky lighting, so i tried to be a bit different, but in essence take a really simple shot.
Taken with the F717 hand-held up against a 32mm Plossl on my Meade ETX-90, used manual focus. Had a bit of purple fringing so desaturated the image to sort it, then added a slight blue hue. Just a bit of USM & flipped the image hoziontally as i dont have an erecting prism.

Very good on many levels. My only suggestion for improvement is that the black appears a little gray and somewhat noisy. Of course, I've never won a ribbon -- so what do I know! :) BOL 8
too bad another entered in a moon picture and this one isn't as good for the simple reason of the black background isn't very black and clean. but good effort nonetheless.
A very nice moon shot. Crisp, detailed, well-exposed. The BG is quite gray (about level 31) which is perceptibly different from black on my monitor. A bit more contrast here would make this even better.
The photo is well taken with good focus and exposure but needs a bit more work in ps. The background should be jet black and the moon needs more contrast and sharpening. Still a 7.
I like the clarity of the moon itself. I would be really interested to know what equipment was used for this shot. That said, the background really ruins the photo. There seems to be lots of noise. Could this have been cleaned up with a filter?
I like it even more than IMAGE_ID=157420 - sharper.
What light source did you use - it's perfect :-)
On a serious note, I'd like to see later what kind of lens this was (or a telescope) and what kind of crop. Top 10 for me.
