Moon photo tonight

Finally managed to combine clear night with moon, charged batteries and
focusing technique!

so here is the result - http://www.sojomedia.com/moon/moon28-03-04.jpg after
some image processing to enhance the details - the original is he
http://www.sojomedia.com/moon/moon28-03-04_original.jpg - what is the blue
halo?

Image processing was a case of removing the blue halo, then setting up
several layers in photoshop with different levels - each highlighting a
brighter section, then using the eraser to reveal the best bits of each
layer, and a basic unsharp mask. The result certainly shows more detail, but
stops it looking quite so spherical..

taken with a canon a70 taped to the lens of 10x50 binoculars in turn taped
to an awful tripod and focused by connecting the camera through a video
player to an old TV so i could see the screen at a reasonable resolution -
Phew! a rather heath-robinson arrangement that took a good while to move out
onto the patio

I took loads of images tonight - might try stacking them but is it likely to
improve the image?
