Description

This image was acquired during an exceptional evening for Dutch standards (March 31 2020).

It was obtained by stacking 35 individual shots taken with my Skywatcher 120/1000 achromat using a Canon EOS 700D with a semi-apo filter.

Stacking done in AS3!, post-processing in Gimp.

Because of the semi-apo filter, the colors come out more blue-gray (after AS3! does an RGB-align). I changed the color temperature of the image. This means the colors are not natural, but I kind of like the clay-like appearance. The contrast between the mares and the higher mountainous area's is fascinating to see.

Personally, I feel this might be my best lunar image so far.
