My Moon Challenge Attempt - Astro Photo Challenge
This challenge from my book The Cosmic Field Guide is designed to help beginners capture a simple shot of the Moon. But for this video, I'm raising the stakes! I'll be planning and executing a unique shot of the Moon rising over the city skyline, blending nature and urban life. I'll take you through the entire process, from scouting locations and timing the perfect shot to what happens after-compositing and processing the image back at home. If you've ever wanted to take your Moon photography to the next level, this video will guide you through it step by step.

    Even in daytime when shooting with my DJI Air 2S drone I often employ HDR stack photography for better dynamic range, especially if shooting in direction of the sun on a clear day. Thankfully most of the modern photo editing software offers an ability to automate HDR stacks with artifact removal, so you save a load of time from having to manually merge the single frames. And many allow you to fine-tweak the stack afterwards should you need it.

    I'm really surprised to hear you talking about focusing. I would have thought you could just set it to infinity because of tbe distances we're talking.

    • @cosmic_curiosity
      @cosmic_curiosity 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You teknically can. But telescopes don't have infinite markers like normal camera lenses and you focus point also changes based on filter and temperature. The auto focuser i use have a a small temperature prove so it can start new auto focus rutine if the ambient temperature changes more than a set number of degrees

    There aren't ways to "reset" the car timeouts? Like activating 5 cm of forward, brake or something? Or software to do... could you keep the car in the state you want by using a scanner like mechanics do and that would keep the car as you want. Although such a scanner would be pricey I bet if not nearly impossible to buy from reputable sources.

    Backfocus ONLY applies when a flattener/coma corrector is used and is the distance where the flat plane is projected. If you don't use a flattener / coma corrector there is no such thing as back focus. As such it's a bit of a misnomer - it would be clearer if it was called "flat plane distance"

  • @richfavinger
    @richfavinger 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What about the use of thin-spacer rings for camera orientation adjustment such as with your filter wheel.... The spacer ring would be placed between the camera and filter wheel back-side... I assume it still counts towards backfocus since you often adding 0.3mm, 0.8mm, 1mm ... I ran into this issue using my ASI533 and EFW to orient my camera strait with the EFW.

    • @cosmic_curiosity
      @cosmic_curiosity 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah that would count too. Everything that changes the distance between the camera and the telescope counts.
