Have you seen those colourful Moon photos and wondered how to do it? In this Colour Moon editing tutorial video I show you exactly how to achieve the result, as well as how to stack and pre-process your files ready for editing.
The colour Moon involves using software such as Photoshop to tease detail and colours out of the data captured. Colour Moon editing brings life to an already wonderful Moon photo.
We're going to cover PIPP, RegiStax and Photoshop and by the end of it you'll have a colour Moon image you'll be proud of! Be sure to show me your lunar results by tagging me on Instagram and twitter!

Thanks everyone for the comments about this tutorial. I have more tutorials on my channel and I'm planning many more that involve deep sky astrophotography if that is of interest to you!

@robertbuckell8341 4 года назад

Thanks for this. I have a question. In PIPP all of my LRGB images including space itself are turned Purple. I'm using an unmodified Canon EOS5D MKIV. I can't remove this cast. Any ideas please?

@Mudly71 Год назад

Heads up if you haven't found out already with the saturation. You only need one, ramp it up to 100 then goto the fill percentage and change it down to 13 same results. 🤗

@AstroFarsography Год назад

@@Mudly71 yeah these days that's certainly something I'd do instead. I didn't really know what fill did back then 😁 good tip for sure for everyone else, thanks Graham!

@malcolmbrandon6806 4 года назад

I have just started astronomy and attempting astrophotography, using the RU-vid university (lol) during lockdown and whilst there are many good tutorials I have to say you have explained the steps of stacking with the most clarity so far to many of the tutorials assume the listener has some expertise . Thank you you have given me the steps to go and retry. So far when stacking i have only had a result of one picture being stacked.

@AstroFarsography 4 года назад

Hey Malcolm welcome to the hobby. Enjoy your time here and enjoy the technical challenge and enjoy your self. Thanks so much for the kind comment. I'm really glad it was clear and concise for you at the beginning of your journey. When you get some pictures please do share them with me!

@nathanchristopher7770 4 года назад

When I boosted up the saturation, the mineral colours were really faint. Is it perhaps because I used 400 frames and need more? Great vid btw

@rpocc 3 года назад

You can use Ctrl-J to copy a layer or Ctrl-Shift-J to copy selection to a new layer. Also try out Neat Image for noise reduction. Photoshop built-in median is just lame in compare to Neat Image.

@Jackofhearts214 3 года назад

I've been using this tutorial for my first couple moon photos. I have an apochromatic telescope, but I keep running into green chromatic aberrations, and they only get amplified during the hue/saturation stage. Any tips with that?

@Steve0916 2 года назад

What would be the difference if you just use Photoshop to do the stacking and aligning? I download PIPP and am having problems with the colors there and was wondering if I can just do everything in Photoshop. Thanks.

@AstroFarsography 2 года назад

I can't see why Photoshop couldn't stack pictures of the Moon. Just when I made this tutorial Photoshop didn't have the function, or I didn't know about it :)

@infraredray4505 3 года назад

@AstroFarsography 3 года назад

@infraredray4505 3 года назад

@@AstroFarsography Ok. Thank you so much! 👍

@FarisMlaeb 4 года назад

what about the F stop, and one more question, what was the interval between each shot and the other, cause in such a low shutter, it will be like burst mode, or you waited like for 1 or 2 sec before taking the other shot. Thanks

@AstroFarsography 4 года назад

This was with an F5 Newtonian. As for the interval, there wasn't. I just locked the shutter closed with continuous shutter mode so it just snapped away as fast as it could and as fast as it could write to memory 😊

@billmeador215 5 месяцев назад

New to astrophotography............super video and very helpful............am I correct in assuming that to get images to edit for a "mineral moon" they have to be taken with a standard camera that shoots in RAW, and not a dedicated astro camera that saves the images as .fit files?

@AstroFarsography 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Bill, hope you enjoy your new hobby. The image must be colour, that's all really. Fits and RAW are just file types to contain that data, one being from dedicated cameras and the other being DSLRs basically. But as long as you end up with a colour photo you can do this editing. So even mono dedicated cameras can create these images, or one shot colour dedicated cameras, or the humble DSLR

@billmeador215 5 месяцев назад

I'm using a Seestar S50. which I am told by ZWO only take RAW video................do you know if I stack the video frames using ASIStudio or AutoStakertt can i get the same reaults, or will PIPP and RegiStax work with video files?

@billmeador215 5 месяцев назад

Thanks................got things working and made my first Mineral Moon yesterday.........Seestar does record in color, and can stack the video then save as .tiff for editing. Really appreciate your video!

@AstroFarsography 4 года назад

@raw_66 3 года назад

why is it when I select auto colour my image turns blue?

@AstroFarsography 3 года назад

I'm not entirely sure really. This tutorial is quite old now and is due an update. But I would imagine maybe white balance is being changed or its sampling a point and cooling the image down incorrectly. You could see about setting the histogram to display colours and use level sliders to balance the colours yourself

@mx7118 3 года назад

Hey. I tried it serveral times. But every time I try to stack my moon-images, it results in (medium-heavy) ghosting. Do you have an idea what the reason could be? I tried to do it like in your video....

@liquidhalo Год назад

it's a year down the road and I'm guessing you've already fixed the issue but I highly recommend using a program called autostakkert for moon and planet stacking.

Maybe it was too low, when things are very low they get red because of the iron oxide (i think) in the atmosphere, thats why sunset are red, and thay may be the reason why your moon is too red. Otherwise i don't know, try to remove a bit of the red in levels in photoshop (image>adjustment>levels>red) good luck !

@jasoncampbell6222 2 года назад

As pretty as this is there is not a chance in hell that that the end result is a "True Colour Moon", the moon does not have this level of colour, if anything this is just the current trend for adding what isn't there. If the moon really had this colour it would be visible through telescopes and on a clear night the naked eye. Great work on colourising an otherwise bland colourless rock.

"How to overprocess the Moon..."

@AstroFarsography 3 года назад

The nice thing about editing is that it's subjective. This probably is a bit more cooked than I'd do these days, but some people enjoy more muted colours, other more vibrant. How do you enjoy yours? Slightly more muted in colour?

@Exalerion 3 года назад

@@AstroFarsography I know, astrophotography is sometimes more of an art than anything else ;) Yeah, I'd keep it a bit more muted. I usually only maximize the vibrance and don't touch the saturation, or only slightly. Increasing the vibrance doesn't clip data and doesn't create a blueish hue around the edges. I also avoid messing with the blacks/levels too much to increase contrast because it also clips the darks, removing data around the terminator.

@AstroFarsography 3 года назад

@@Exalerion indeed, depends what you're after from your images 😁 this probably is due a revisit anyway since I've improved and yeah probably wouldn't mess too much with the white black points either. Too much contrast is worse than not enough I think

@Exalerion 3 года назад

@@AstroFarsography Yeah indeed, those are my thoughts as well, keep it a bit more natural. You also don't want too much contrast and blackpoints of zero in deep sky images as that doesn't look natural either.
