Puhhh...insane, but I've made, hope you do like what came out.
Due to a southern warm and dry (just 36% humidity) weather conditions we had very stable air, so very good seeing conditons BUT again, dust from the Sahara in the air, so I had to use
longer exposure times (30 - 35ms) to capture the whole Moon in 151 (!!!) single videos cause I've used 4800mm focal length and the tini tiny small sensor of the 178MM camera.

After a whole night running the computer for AutoStakkert to batch process the videos it took quite a while to stitch those 151 single tiff-files!
:-)

To give a better impression of the atmosphere - here a short (untouched) video on YouTube:

Description: On April 14th, the third day in a row, the seeing degraded again but I wanted to image that eastern part of the Moon that seldom is shown with not so well known craters like Hevelius with the "X-mark" in it, the Rimae Hevelius, Vallis Schroeteri, Schickard and Schiller or east of the southern pole - Bailly, the largest (!) crater on the front part of the Moon with about 300km in diameter.
(And NO - the stitching software so far has not been able to add those 42parts mosaic to the already 151parts mosaic)

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.
