Moon Stitch

[stevenc77]

Hi guys, here is my first attempt at stitching some shots of the Moon. It's pretty basic but after so many cloudy nights I gave up on the other stuff and went back home to the Moon (on the first clear night which happened to be this bright Moon!). I've taken a few liberties here, the colours and brightness and whatever else is wrong.... but that just leaves room for improvement doesn't it! Steve. (make sure to zoom in).

Excellent detail and contrast!

How did you take it?

Steven this is a very good result.

Love the detail in the Tyco, Copernicus and Aristarchus regions, particularly the terracing.

It is a lot softer in the regions of The Alps and Caucuses. I realize how difficult this is. Have been working on a 57 image stitch of the Moon for about two years, still haven't got the result I am looking for.

It is always a compromise in not over exposing the bright areas while not making the dark areas appear black and getting the correct overlap with 57 images is a challenge.

How many images are in your stitch?

Overall I think you should be well pleased with this effort.
Well done.

Regards
Trevor

I wouldn't be making any apologies for this effort. Some great detail in there and if that is your first go, whow.
