I'd be interested to hear your comments on any of these images.
Good or bad. I'm staying out of it
The images
Feel free to vote for your favourite and add some expertise to the public vote! LOL.

We need a 'Like' button. has this been asked before? Mods? anyone listening?

right-click the DNG link and select 'save target' (or similar). Then save the DNG to your machine and open it from within Photoshop or whatever. i.e. File - Open.
or right-click the file on your machine and select 'open with'.

I like yours Chris, it has a natural, if noisy appearance. I think mine looks a little posterised in comparison, but the rings and splats that look like GIF compression (for want of a better analogy) are in fact shallow craters. so I'm reasonably pleased.
Now... where can I find a 500mm?
Are there any mirror lenses that are any good? Or should I buy a telescope?
.
edit: BTW, mine looks like I applied noise reduction, but I don't think I did (even inadvertently in the raw file), I think it was the fairly broad high-pass filter that did that.

Nooooo.
I can't believe I fell for that. Ha! I so wanted to believe there was that much detail in my image and that that sort of resurrection was possible LOL. Damn..
Still, it did force me to redouble my efforts and I learnt a little more.
Here's my latest attempt at a silk purse from a sow's ear. (I think I've reached hessian purse so far )

Isn't that a contradiction? Artificial gravity thus aligns itself with the gravitational pull of the nearest large stellar object
Dr O's image is really annoying me too Axel...
It's even bigger than 100percent! I've tried again, using 3 layers (taking the best of each) and high pass filters, and a touch of normal sharpening, but it's still messy. Better than my first attempt, but still no good

If red eye reduction gives time for the subject's iris to close (and reduce red eye), then it sure gives time to let them blink.
How long is the delay for the pre-flash for PTTL exposure? Probably instantaneous, so that's unlikely.

If the Enterprise was within the Earth's shadow then it would only be lit by the moon in which case the shadow is correct.
It isn't, it's in the sun, same as the moon, so the strongest shadow would be cast towards (ish) the moon and a secondary one from the reflect light of the moon. Try it, it's easy to see in photoshop If the Enterprise was within the Earth's shadow then it would only be lit by the moon in which case the shadow is correct.

The ships have artificial gravity, so it makes sense to line up the gravity, and the ships will be designed to look the 'right way up' in relation to their gravity, because that's what we would want if we were buying one But if they were in space (or even in orbit) then this would be pointless. Can anyone explain?)
