i took a picture of the moon in my backyard. it's potato compared to those who are good at astrophotography, but i'm pretty chuffed that even tycho is plainly visible.
@aetios i don't even have a telescope, just a 74-200 with a 2x teleconverter.
@sneak Looks like it's "just" a misadjusted white balance. While it's always to have a correct while balance set on the camera, it's a minor issue IF you shot this picture in RAW (easy/fast to correct by editing the RAW file).
But if you shot it in JPG-only mode, its harder/slower, or even impossible to correct the white balance afterward, depending on how the WB balance setting was far from the correct value.
@devnull the white balance was set correctly, the color is pretty close to accurate.
@sneak It looks slightly yellowish
@devnull yes, the earth's atmosphere is thick and dirty
@sneak You have a moon in your backyard? 😮😉
