10 DSLR shots integrated in PixInsight (FFTRegistration script) and post-processed in AviStack 2 and Photoshop. Canon EOS 450D, prime focus, each shot 1/125s ISO100; Sky-Watcher 150 Explorer Newtonian.

Very nice shot, Julian!

I had a quick look at your flickr images and noticed that you have a "Depth Map used for 3D conversion" on page 16. Can I ask how you use that and if you used it on this image?

Thank you very much for the kind comments:)

The depth map (not used on this image) you are referring to was to use as a displacement map with Photoshop distort filter which allows stereo pairs or 3D anaglyphs to be made from a 2D image. For example a stereo pair:

I've moved on a bit from that and have found a way of projecting a planet/moon disc onto a 3D mesh so you can have a look "round the corner" Like this:

This technique needs a similar, but better quality greyscale depthmap and Photoshop Extended. It's good for looking into the zone of librations like this for Maria Smythii et Marginis:

Thanks for taking the time to explain, that's a very cool idea!

I'm watching this on my smartphone but I can easily make out lots of detail.

Great shot!
