    Great final image! Good to follow a channel that is not totally DSO obsessed and does justice to the fascinating features found on this amazing object on our cosmic doorstep. Best and most informative solar system channel on the net.

      Glad it worked for you Jeff. It's quite amazing pulling out the colour from what appears to be a grey image isn't it? Let us know how you get on.

    Great video I've managed coloured Moon pictures before but never like this so I will have to give it a try next time, I love the picture of comet Neowise & the Noctilucent clouds on your monitor I remember being out taking pictures of this event with my partner lovely memories.

    I've learned so much this past year and enjoy coming back to this video from time to time. Do you adjust your DSLR settings besides manual mode like white balance or noise reduction?

    • @RefreshingViews
      @RefreshingViews  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your kind words, Craig. No, I live the WB on daylight (moon light = sunlight) and normally stack the images for noise reduction.

    This video is great. I’m going to start doing this. MY question is can’t we use Photoshop for the stacking? I have a MacBook and don’t know what a good stacking software is for the Mac side. I did try using photoshop, but the moon came out more blurry then a single shot.
    Thought I would ask :).

    • @RefreshingViews
      @RefreshingViews  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure of Mac stacking software but did you click the auto align tick box in photoshop?

      @@RefreshingViews
      I appreciate you responding, yes I did use the Auto align. I have done other stacking and Photoshop so I do know how to do it but for some reason with the moon, it just never seems to work right
      I did read that doing stacking with The Moon is kind of hard because it’s not really a contrasting item within itself or something like that if you know what I mean
      Is there a reason why you use this other program instead of Photoshop since it has all the features there? Does it have an advantage over Photoshop?
      I guess the other thing is because I would like to do this coloring with the moon as long as this is an accurate representation of what it really is
      And from what you were explaining that it is because I always thought wow when did the moon have colors like that.

    New to astrophotography............super video and very helpful............am I correct in assuming that to get images to edit for a "mineral moon" they have to be taken with a standard camera that shoots in RAW, and not a dedicated astro camera that saves the images as .fit files?

    • @RefreshingViews

      You can do it with either type of camera, Bill, it just has to be colour.

    Could Autostakkert stack 800 images of galaxy with star field? Basically, could it substitute Pixinsight?

      Not sure, Ana. Check out Deep Sky Stacker which is freeware for deep sky objects.

      I think that’s photoshop elements from memory - the same process works on gimp, photoshop , affinity so use what you have.

    Excellent video. What camera did you use? DSLR? Would a planetary camera file contain the color data too?

    • @RefreshingViews
      @RefreshingViews  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it’s 10 I think stacked together from Canon 77D DSLR. I guess colour data would be in the planetary camera too - assuming it’s a colour camera and you’re not shooting with an IR pass filter.

      That's strange. Have you tried stacking a few pictures together to boost the signal-noise ratio? And are you sure you are capturing in colour?

      I stack the photos in registax6, 100 or more photos, then I apply exactly what you did in Photoshop elements, but the program is in German, there may be a mistake, I am very glad you took the time for me, thank you very much.
