ASTRO: The real colors of the moon
Ok, did found this site: http://www.colormoon.pt.to/ ... and another
eyeopener :-) The attached photo I enhanced digitally to reveal the real colors of the moon. Quote from the site: "Usually we see the moon as a monochromatic world only with releif and albedo features to observe, but there is something on the surface hidden to the naked eye that everyone can capture with a digital camera, or just plain analog film. f you observe some particular features on the lunar surface through a telescope you will notice for sure some tiny differences in the hues of the various greys of the surface, as there are many different geological formations composed of different minerals, so there must be a difference, even though very subtle to our eyes, in the color. But to digital and analogic image capture devices it is an easy task to record color information with quite good accuracy, so it can be enhanced afterwords by digital processing to allow us to see it too!" I used a slightly other methode (but based on what is described on that site) to reveal the real colors of the moon ... it was such fun to see it turning from a gray moon to a color moon :-) -- Menno ===================== My 3D Art can be seen on http://www.3dart4u.com http://tinyurl.com/c8g96 (3DCommune) http://brycetest.3dart4u.com (Bryce Speed Test) http://wallpaper.3dart4u.com (3D and other wallpapers) ===================== Remove nospam in mail address when mailing me |

ASTRO: The real colors of the moon
Found another image more suited for this. Looks more like I wanted it. Going
to take another shot at this (when it's clear that is) with full moon when all light (or most of it) is equal :-) Menno |

For what it's worth, here's my attempt. I think I lost a lot of red because I have an unaltered Cannon 300d, and so the infrared filter is still in place. This image was taken last October. Enjoy, George |

I think it came out a lot better. Same camera. Enjoy, George |
