Re: The Moon in Perigee
Really nice capture Paul, I like the dimensional detail your shot captured that is often missed in other moon shots.

Re: The Moon
I did get a few shots of the moon last night. Haven't had a look at them yet. But I have noticed Photoshop fakes starting to appear on Fecebook. The first to get my attention was allegedly of an antler arch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the moon in the background. At first I wondered how they could get the necessary DOF with an obviously long super telephoto. Then I realized you couldn't. Then I saw the incredibly bad cut-and-paste artifacts in the image... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: The Moon
That's a nice catch, Paul! I envy your opportunity to observe it. It was cloudy and drizzling all day and throughout the night. But my biggest disappointment was that I was unable to show the eclipse to my daughter. The timing would've been perfect: the totality was starting just before the bed time for her. Earlier last week, I had explained to her how eclipse happens, showing that with a lamp, inflatable globe and a yellow ball (as the moon). At about 8:20pm (CDT), it started clearing up right above us, and the clouds thinned slightly around the moon, to give a hope, but only for less than a minute, and it didn't reveal the moon. I kept stepping outside of the house to check, but to no avail. Bummer! Igor On Sun, Sep 27, 2015 at 11:18 PM, paul stenquist wrote: Kept watching the moon and realized it was a pretty good look.

Thanks for settings. Fine hand held image, especially at the somewhat problematic 1/125 shutter. High resolving lens combination deserving of some credit as well.

Probably not. It's probably chromatic aberation from the lens+TC, amplified by constructive interference with artifacts from the Bayer interpolation.
