Can I ask if you have ever considered using an editing suite?
The hardest part was trying to keep the camera steady. I ditched the first batch, taken whilst resting the side of the camera on the back door frame.
To get this shot I turned a chair around and sat in the back doorway, then used the back of the chair as a rest. Even so, at 30X optical and 30X digital zoom, plus a hand tremor, it was still difficult to keep it steady.
There was some very light cloud around and I had to wait for it to clear first.
The second shot was taken in light cloud that I couldn't do anything about, hence the slight aura around the moon.
I used to use Adobe when I was restoring some WW1 era photos, but I prefer to try and get a good shot without any adjustment these days.
Panasonic/Lumix DMC-TZ60. A very nice middle level camera. It has better optics and features than an entry level camera, but not as good as one with changeable lenses.
It's best feature though as far as I am concerned is that even with all the good features, it still fits in the pocket of my trouserings.
