Two Moons for the 'price of one'


Two views of the Gibbous Moon
one with increased colour saturation

On a number of nights in January 2014, the Moon has sailed clear and bright, dodging between scudding clouds and sharing its quiet silver light with the cats that congregate on our backyard. I captured these composite views with my Canon 600d DSLR affixed to my 127mm refractor using a 2.5x Barlow.  I saturated the colour on one of the images. The enhanced colour reflects the variations in geological mineral content of the Moon's surface.
