99% Illuminated Moon

[Yamez]

2 pane mosaic of 2 single shots, stitched and processed in Photoshop. I have 2 other videos of the moon to stack and stitch, also 2 videos of some craters close up. Will be processing them tomorrow.

Seeing was great, apart from the wind wobbling my scope all over the place but in between gusts it was very steady and still.

Thanks for Looking

Very nice! Was it difficult to make a seamless join between the two panels? Can you summarise the process? I've often thought about a high res moon project - you might have inspired me to finally give it a try!

Was very simple, in photoshop under file - automate - photomerge. In the photomerge window I selected auto then selected the files I wanted to merge. Then simply process the image.

Thank you, I have quite a few more images to process using autostakkert and photoshop which I will be doing later.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I don't image myself but do enjoy eyeballing the moon and always keep an eye on this section of the forum.
