This photo was taken on 28th of August at 3:43 a.m. Pacific time. This is one of many photos taken in a 3 hour period. Because of very low light during the full eclipse, and I can only get maximum f8 due to add on of 1.4 T-Con, ISO had to be set at 1600 to keep shutter speed around 1-2 seconds to minimize motion blur of the moon.
This is the actual color of the moon at full eclipse. Slight usm, contrast adjustment and cropped. Thanks for looking.

Reduce noise

Using PS/CS2 I used the selected the BG and used the Dust and Scratches filter to reduce the noise, I the darkened the BG. I left the moon alone even though it is a bit noisy, I think It looks OK. When I tried to reduce the moons noise it lost too much detail. Hope you like it.
