Re: What Color is the Moon, Really? This is great!
said by NoelC:The moon really is this color, just not nearly this color-saturated. If you don't believe it, desaturate this image and see how natural it looks. This is not a good test... you could make it any hue you wanted, and it would look just the same once desaturated, wouldn't it? But I believe you anyways!  -- My ShutterPoint gallery My ImageEvent galleries |

| reply to NoelC ATTENTION NUMBER 118 (known to earthlings as NoelC): It has been brought to my attention (as the Commandant, Inferior Planets Infiltrators Monitoring Command), that you have been posting pictures of the home area and others in this strange earthling-world known as DSLR, leading to unwanted unusual interest on the part of previously ignorant earthlings.
The Pod Mother is not amused. You have been warned; continued infractions will result in an order to report to the Home Ship for re-programming. -- The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. -- Stanley Kubrick |

| reply to NoelC said by NoelC:I... Hear... And... Obey... No! Don't listen to that guy (who occasionally takes over my posting) and never consider stopping posting these wonderful shots.
Note to Pod Mother: don't be silly. NoelC's photos only make us more appreciative and in awe of the home base. And anyhow, DSLR-ers aren't average earthlings . -- The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. -- Stanley Kubrick |

 | reply to NoelC Great shot. Can you give us the technical details of the shot? Was that a 20D or 20Da?
And have you considered submitting the picture to NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day? »antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/lib/ab···pod.html |

The moon just seems so much cooler when it is set in a field of stars. We never get to see that thing due to its extreme brightness. Thanks for sharing! -- -- Judd Patterson Photography -- |

 RCaugh join:2001-03-03 San Francisco, CA | reply to NoelC Looks like we all have the same desktop now. Thank you for sharing this. All these years and I never knew this. I always thought it was grey dust. Nobody ever told me the moon is not grey but pink and blue, and if they had I probably wouldn't have believed them. Too much! |
