Description

The 99.8% illuminated moon overnight on Dec 26th. 2-panel mosaic at 2100mm focal length.

Funny workflow: 
* 10 subs on each half -- too few subs for a good Autostakkert processing
* Stacked in APP (!), which found lunar features as "stars" for registration and stacking
* Mosaic in APP
* BlurXT in PI with "stars" 0.60, PSF manually to 4 pixels, sharpening to 0.75 
* Export to TIFF from APP
* Minor touchup, contrast, unsharp mask in PS
