Description

I show you a single photograph taken with the Sony A7IV (brutal dynamic range, 33mpx FF) and the Maksutov skymax 180 f15 2700mm
Say that the capture and processing is part of the next video on my YouTube channel, but first I would like to share the image data.
It is 1 shot at ISO 800 and 1/250 with 5" lag in silent exposure (no shutter)

The colors that stand out the most are blue and orange. The Mares would be formed by basalts from the volcanic eruptions of the Imbrian period and their color depends on the proportion of iron and titanium in their minerals.
The areas with the greatest amount of titanium are darker and bluer since the mineral ilmenite abounds
On the other hand, the orange zones are of the fayalite type and it is due to the greater proportion of pyroxene and olivines of the fayalite type.
The bluest area is the one that corresponds to the sea of tranquility and has a concentration of titanium 10 times higher than the highest found on earth.
