Valentines moon

[Yawning Angel]

Having a very understanding wife, this was captured in a 'quick' trip to the observatory last night

2 panel mosaic - LRGB: 8 x 1000 frames stacked 25%. Registax -> MS ICE -> imPPG -> PixInsight

General method in Pi is

• Linear fit - source G, targeting B and R
• LRGB Combination - RGB
• Curves for the slight mineralisation (+saturation, CIE b*, CIE c*)
• SNCR Green, Invert, SNCR Green, Invert (clear up slight green fringing)
• LRGB Combination - L
• Rotate, crop square

 

Aristarchus Crater and Schroter's Valley area looking very nice @ 100%

A closer couple of stacks taken with a x2.5 barlow. Pushing the 107/700mm further than the seeing really allowed for

What a superb set of images. I have a particular liking for the full mineral moon shot. I have been wanting to try do one of these myself for ages. Excellent work.

Colour balance looks good. After a while you get to know the areas and there tone, in colour. And just looks right to my eyes. lovely
