1. WOW! Thank you!

INVISIBLE to us in the East now (and for a few more days, due to Ian.)

2. I do NOT see any clouds, my dear moonshinegnomie! None!

I see what tools you used to get this photo, but I don't understand how you got it.

It is just plain stunning!

Congrats on your superb photo!

4. You got great contrast and light levels. (Not blocking high levels)

But noisy. Do say more. Do you think that the iPhone did its processing magic on the image?
I tried to get dark “seas” but that moved the terminator.

I got the same “ragged” effect near the South Pole.

I was going to post my photo but it looked like postimages was really shrinking the result. Perhaps it’s only “preview” mode on DU that does so. I will try again.

5. this is just a single image shot thru thin clouds

contrast boosted (a lot) but no noise reduction,it was more os a test shot.

its supposed to be clear tonight so im going to work on a much better shot. probably stack a short video or a set of single images.
