Description

Earth's good buddy and now mine.

Last night when I was hunting for G2V Sun-analog stars to calibrate my RGB balance for a troublesome-to-process globular cluster, it dawned on me that near full moon was an obvious G2V source. First time I was happy to see a blazingly bright Moon.

Terry Robison mentioned in a YouTube presentation that the red channel is less affected by atmospheric turbulence — I'm pretty sure it made a difference. Certainly the blue channel is always horrible and would soften any luminance channel image.

This is actually a 1 x 0.001" (not 1 x 1") exposure soaked in a cocktail of signal processing steroids.
