Hi Franck. Thanks for the generous comment.

Hi Mike. Thanks very much.

Hi Clive. No, there is nothing artificial at all. The moon is in different positions on the R G and B images, due to its rapid motion and since the position in the initial R G and B stack frames varies due to turbulence distortion. The moon needed to be RGB assembled independently of the planet and then reinserted over the top of the misaligned moon images in the planet image. It's still a real image though and processed the same way. The attached image shows what the moon looked like when the alignment was fixed on the planet.

Thanks very much Tom.

Thanks a lot Graeme.

Thanks Lester - much appreciated.

Regards Ray
