Moon - 15th October

[markt]

You'll normally find me in the solar sections on here, but with el-sol getting lower and lower in UK skies as we near winter it's time for me to turn to the moon to quell my imaging urges. This is a 6 pane mosaic taken with my 70mm frac at f12, DMK31 cam. For my first moon mosaic i'm pleased with the results.

Hope you like!

Thanks Steve! I can't decide whether it's sharpened too much - the highlights on craters etc are a little prominent, it's cloudy this morning so a play around with the image may well be in order later on today...

Hi again Mark - I agree with Astropete and don't think you've gone too far with the sharpening.

Cheers

Crunchy! The contrast balance and sharpness are spot on, no burnt out highlights etc. Not just a one trick solar imager!;-)

Excellent job
