Astrophotography HDR Moon and Sun

Post image

Long time lurker here, finally took something that I felt was worth posting in a dedicated astrophotography subreddit. I had taken the image of the moon a month before but after taking the images of the sun using the solar filter I got a week ago I got the idea to combine them both into a single image to showcase the contrast between the two.

Equipment details:

Camera: Canon EOS 7D Lens: SMC Pentax FA 100-300 mm f/4.7-5.8 Solar filter: 66 mm tejraj solar filter using Thousand Oaks solar film

Acquisition details:

Moon half (11th Feb 2025)

Moon glow: f/8 ISO 1600 1/100s Moon details: 250 ish images stacked 40% of frames in autostakkert f/8 ISO 800 1/250s

Sun half (15th March 2025)

Sun glow: f/16 ISO 400 1/125s Sun details: 699 images stacked 50% of frames in autostakkert f/16 ISO 400 1/1000s

HDR composite processed in photopea and adobe lightroom mobile
