Pretty nice moon Bob, have you tried stacking using Registax ?

Heres the first from my brand new D7000, shot at ISO6400 of Mike Harding at Shrewsbury Folk Festival :

you handing out sunglasses too? saturation is through the roof!

and please upload a web sized image to share with - flickr sharpening is horrid!

[Bobster]

such a lovely lens, with x2 kenko pro tele on (keeps AF) shot at 600mm x1.6 crop 1/50

g8ina, looks out of focus or blurred near the eyes, also to dark around the eyes?

Josh, not your best work, a pile of rubbish and a random shot :|

Bob, excellent as always

[g8ina]

Yeah I know hes a touch soft, but in near darkness, with only a second to compose and shoot, Im not too unhappy

Stacking works with the moon Bob, just grab Registax and give it a go, its not the friendliest SW but with enough practise, results can be stonking.

meh, registax can't cope with raw (.arw)

i'm stupid, so give me the low down on how it works? i take a bunch of moon shots and it puts them all together and does what?

[GoNz0]

makes one great image in theory

Aligns, denoises and sharpens.

The wavelet method is different to unsharp masks, using fast fourier transforms I guess, but has the advantage of you being able to selectively choose which wavelet frequences to enhance, a bit like choosing different pixel radiuses for an USM.

I don't know if adding more images helps with the sharpening aspect or just the denoising/contrast enhancement.

[g8ina]

also increases contrast and for the moon thats pretty key.

Another 6400iso shot from Shrewsbury, Afro Celt Sound System, and yeah, I know it's not perfect but still learning how to drive this beastie at hi isos. Nikon D7000, 55-300mm, f5.6, 1/80th VR on.

[kalniel]

That's class.

[Bobster]

solid shot David! looks like the 7000 handles high ISO well
