Description

This is my first shot at a (modest) lunar mosaic, using the new Fluorostar 91mm.

Each panel (top, bottom) is ~2 minutes of 720p video shot in ASIAIR, stacking the best 15% frames (~350) in Autostakkert with 3x drizzle.

I then hand-tuned the white balance on each panel, and combined them into a mosaic using Photoshop's photomerge automation. From there, I adjusted levels, curves, a bit of vibrance (but not so far in the "mineral moon" direction), and sharpened with Topaz.
