First RGB Lunar attempt

[Notty]

Please be gentle! I normally do deep sky and thus have despised this object for many years... but decided since it was ruining my first clear night for months I would attempt to image it. I've always loved those images with exaggerated colours so I had a go myself though I know i have overdone it and they are not to all tastes. 2 pane mosaic with combined RGB. Processing was a bodge across different platforms, AS!, MS ICE, Gimp (for aligning the RGB channels - trial & error), Startools then back to gimp for more colour manipulation. I couldn't control the edge colours I know they look bad, but I am happy now because I now like the Moon and thus can play when it's out as this was fun. Thanks for looking.

Scope was TS Optics 130 F/7 0.8X FF/Red ASI1600MM & EFW
