Large JPEG file |
I made a new 1600 x 1200 desktop background image out of several of my astronomy shots (moon from one, stars from another), and it came out nice so I thought I might share it with everyone.
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. 
Enjoy

 danzaPremium join:2002-08-23 | reply to NoelC Awesome image. Thanks for the new desktop 
I thought the moon could be some colour other than white due to the massive amount of reflections from the sun, but I never thought it would look that  |
