A 68 Megapixel Waxing Gibbous Moon

Zoom in to see the incredible details

Equipment: Edge HD 11" Alt Az - ZWO 290MC for details and Canon 6D for color

Captured 40 individual panels with 4000 frames each and stacked the best 90% in Autosakkert and stitched it in Image Composite editor and further enhanced it in photoshop and Lightroom then blended the color of the 6D output on to the ZWO 290MC file and enhanced the saturation and color correction.

Total no. of frames stacked: 144,000 frames, missed few panels during the imaging session, so blended the 6D output on the missing panels to complete the image.

Location: Mleiha, UAE

Date: 03.02.2020

Visually the color of the moon is somewhat seen in shades of grey but due to the different mineral composition one can bring out the true colors in post-processing, In this image, the moon shows excellent colors that correspond with lava flow fronts. The Blue hues correspond to titani

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
