Experimental IR Moon Mosaic.

[Taman]

A rare clear night spoiled by the Moon. Rather than waste it, I thought I'd try out an infrared filter as an experiment. The amount of detail is surprising, even though I didn't use a Barlow or proper planetary camera. It's worth zooming in, craters down to 1 mile across are clearly visible. I'll have to try experiments like this more often!

4 part mosaic, each part a stack of 200 frames.

Captured with FireCapture, processed with Astrosurface and Photoshop. Mosaic stitched with Microsoft ICE.

Clear skies!
