Description

This may not be a sophisticated capture, but when trying to add time to a few projects the other day, I was immediately surprised by how obviously noticeable earthshine was even with the naked eye. It looked beautiful in person.

I was doing PA at the time, so I focused the DSLR on the moon... and couldn't resist the temptation. I took a few shots in HDR fashion, and just now I remembered to process them. In here I try to recreate what it looked like naked eye.

This is just an HDR combination of all the shots taken - 8 at various exposure levels. You can see the background stars behind a bit blurred. The weird color cast is because I had my CLS filter in place as I was going for a few emission nebulae at the time. I tried to color balance but the HDR combination makes it a hard proposition. Maybe I'll find a way later.
