Description

My first attempt to photograph the Moon with my telescope and my first post-processing to obtain a Mineral Moon effect.

I used a lucky Imaging technique to get the maximum possible details of the surface via the stacking of 180 pictures (selected with PIPP) with Autostakkert and Registax.

Then the Mineral Moon was obtained via Photoshop with the combination of two layers: luminance and crominance.

I must admit that seeing those colors popping out of the grey picture was a real emotion!

This is what I like most of astrophotography: it makes visible the invisible!
