Re: the moon tonight

The background stars look fake to me. Are we looking at two images here? Can you provide us with more details? Exposure time, camera, how camera was mounted?

that background is just "noise" in photographic terms. To help you understand about noise, shows up more when this type of photo is taken and enlarged

Re: the moon tonight

Too much information to be honest. The noise you refer to look like faint stars in the backround which would have been impossible - hence my query. Why don't you get rid of the noise?

Re: the moon tonight

That's a superb shot, much better than anything I have ever produced.
I saw t'moom in t'sky when I let our dog out last thing yesterday, and thought, ooh it's lovely and clear, I'll get my camera and take a piccy from our (loft) bedroom window.
By the time I got there it was behind a cloud. *sigh*

Re: the moon tonight

Ok. I was under the impression you were saying the stars in the backround were caused by "noise". Sorry, I misunderstood. To make such photos look more real in future you could probably lose 5 out of every 6 backround stars together with varying their brightness more. Also, look at the part of the moon in darkness; you have stars here as well but even if there were real stars we couldn't see them because the part of the moon in darkness would obscure them.

I'm being picky here. It's a good photo for a hand held attempt. Next time there's no moon you should prop your camera up against a wall and put it in "bulb" mode for a few hours to capture star trails. The results can be spectacular especially if you happen to catch a few artificial satellites. Point your camera towards Polaris (the north star) for more pronounced circular trails.
