Description

This lunar image is a stitched composite of 4 images taken at the prime focus or a Meade LX200 with a canon 5D Mark IV DSLR in 4K video Mode. At the 4096mm prime focus 4 video's where required to capture the entire moon at first quarter. The 4 video where converted from .mov to .ser files using PIPP and then stacked with Autostakket to create 4 .tif files. Each .tif file was sharpened with an unsharp mask using pixinisight and then stitched together with microsoft ICE. The color has be greatly enhanced to show the lunar color variations that are not visible to the naked eye. This enhancement makes it easier to find the newer lunar craters from their whiter appearance.
