hello all, i have a problem:
as we all know, moon is quite bright body. when we take photos of it we set shutter speed to some relatively high value, like 1/100th of second. everything works fine. we take series of photos, and then stack it with registax to get more detail from photos.
but, if we try to do the same with movie, we can't because the moon is too bright, and camera automatically sets exposure. because everything around the moon is dark (we shoot at night), camera tries to compensate exposure, and result is over burn moon.
so my question is: can we make movie of moon with decreased brightness (or increased shutter speed)?
note for newbies: why stacking photos allows us to extract more detail from photos which are terrible?
air in atmosphere is in continuous movement causing image waving (which you can see while looking through hot air). computer programs like registax can compensate such waving, and thus reconstruct the original image of the moon, based on differences between each shot. so, the more pictures you take, the more detail can you get (although they are heavily hardware limited).
and why do i want to make a movie of (still) moon? because then i can get more frames per second (30/60fps) than in continuous burst mode (2-3 fps).
