Description

On a rare, clear night and incidentally the longest of the year, I was of course greeted by a 97% Moon but also by the best seeing I've witnessed in quite a while. Having just installed an SSD in my remote mini-PC specifically for the odd Solar and Lunar stuff, and thinking about a color shot of the Moon for a while too, I did just that when the bright Moon was approaching Zenith.

I shot this with a mono camera, so I struggled a bit with the alignment of the RGB frames. Many sharp ridges still show a bit of fringing, but that's where I got so far. Any tips on alignment of lunar RGB frames are welcome!
