Quarter Moon
Captured under a bit hazy/pollen filled skies in Tucson AZ. Imaging acquired with a Questar telescope with a Nikon D850 camera and a Tamron 1.4X teleconverter to fill the full frame. A bit of experiment to test a camera teleconverter rather than an axial barlow lens. The image comprises a HDR of RAW 9 X 0.3 stop exposures at iso 400 stacked, then deconvoluted, and adjusted with Photoshop all in TIF before converting to this JPG.
A second version is posted using the Nik tool set to further enhance detail and brilliance that brings up some of the detail less apparent in this version.
