That's a nice contrasty image, Charl. Have you done any processing or is this 'as is'?

Well, it certainly works. 

I don't do much lunar photography, as the next question will no doubt illustrate. How does stacking help? Registering and stacking helps in deep sky photography because it improves the signal to noise. But the Moon is so bright I would have thought you don't need to improve the S to N.  Also couldn't stacking work against you because atmospheric turbulence can cause different amounts of distortion in different parts of different images. So when you stack them they become "fuzzier"?

staxing improves shaperning and stops noise, i think it was made for planets and deep sky is just a spin off 😀 . charl.
