HDR Moon shot.

I need an ID here please. I pretty much can identify the object on the right, but what is on the left? Saturn? A star?

A HDR image made from two shots. 1 second for the planet?star? and 1/4 second for the moon. Both F13.

Shot around 9:45 pm 4/19/07. From my deck in Renton Washington.



This is my first attempt around an hour earlier. Was I surprised when I loaded it into the computer. What a find! Check out the planet/star!



Then I relalized I shot through the screen door.

 

Thanks Sean. That site looks pretty good. I will definitely give the SW a try.

 

I tried that also, the exposure needs to be so long the motion of the earth and moon blurred the image, so I gave up.

I thought about one of those motor drive thingys, but this is another slippery slope, just like shooting your first bird. Pretty soon you own a 500 mm F4.5, big tripod, etc.

 

Thanks Mark.

 

Wow, great program. Just loaded it.

Especially on my Dell 24" monitor. Almost as good as being outside.

 

Thanks Sancho.
