Pictures 1, 3 and 4 have been digitally manipulated and do not reflect the way we see it through the atmosphere from the earth.

Thus, picture number 2 is the most realistic. I have taken a number of moon picture with my 3000mm objective and it looks more like the one in number 3.

This picture, taken on 11/15 of last year has not been manipulated with a software and is as it would be seen from the earth.

My equipment and software is way more advanced to get very detailed images. The content details haven't been altered just the lighting contrast color slightly and levels to balance the pucture out BUT the details each crator each mountain range or track or revene or whatever each hole is exact with no alterations except those stated above with the lighting color contrast levels

What you have there was taken on an old nikon p900 zoom camera with the files as a jpeg rather than raw files. Hence the 3000mm which isn't a true 3000mm as in taken with a micro four thirds sensor instead of a full frame sensor which would be a true 3000mm or an asp-c sensor hence why the detail isn't as there in your photo and since you didn't edit it hence the yellow in your picture and most likely a jpeg format instead of raw format

Aps-c not asp-c

If you hadn't mentioned the 3000mm it could easily be asumed it was taken with a camera phone either an older Samsung galaxy phone or an older iPhone but the 3000mm suggests you used a nikon p900 but regardless they all use the same size four thirds sensor

No, the picture was taken from behind a window with no tripod (handheld) and with a longer exposure time and the camera is a P1000.

I'm very impressed with all the photos, but I choose number 1, because it seems a clearer photo.

I only look at the night sky with my eyesight, but there's so much to see, and I've not enough time available to progress using telescopes etc.

I like to watch astronomy programs, and I'm amazed at the photos they take of the night sky.

I've asked questions previously on astronomy, and there seems a lack of interest from people on GAG's.
