Another spectacular moonrise this evening. The November Full Moon is referred to as the Beaver’s Full Moon. Here, we see the moon rising above the ’scrub oak’ on a ridge east of Park City, Utah. This shot was taken using the Canon Rebel XTi for a 1/30 second exposure at ISO400 shooting at prime focus through the Astro Physics Starfire Refractor. I picked this image because it had the best foreground display. I processed it in GIMP and did a Curves function on it. I pushed the low end up and the midrange down. This brought out the foreground (earthly objects) and dimmed the moon. The moon was previously a bit washed out. Pulling the midrange down a bit brought the moon under control and revealed a bunch of surface detail.
