I see it, also if you look on the top left of the moon, it looks like theirs a slight red haze.

That's what I was thinking... those crazy little farts are firing up a flux capacitor on the back side of the moon and I caught the glow with my 50D. They're doing time travel experiments. I knew it.

Red on top, blue on bottom = chromatic aberration.

What does it mean?

How can I get rid of it, or is there something wrong with my lens?

astrostu · Feb 5, 2009

Chromatic aberration is the prism effect, basically. Better lenses have better corrections for it, but there's really no way to get rid of it with glass refractors. You can fix it in some processing software, like Camera Raw.

Ha! I forgot Lightroom2 has the ability to correct for Chromatic Aberration too... so I edited the second picture and I think I got most of the blue/yellow out.

Haha you guys inspired me to venture out into the 6*F weather for my first ever moon shot as well

. It's like a nice little moon party in here haha:

Shot with a crappy old lens that I got from my friends dad for $100 haha, but its the best I have for zoom ATM.

Ok, at the risk of getting torn a new one for not having finished the manual completely (come on, its over a hundred pages lol), what setting are you using? Becuase when I am in apeture priority it wont let me select shutter speed and in manual idk how to set apeture, any help?
