Moon in colour

Following the article under "Projects & Articles", I tried imaging the moon in colour.

Using my LX90 8" ACF (Alt/Az) with a Lepus 0.62x focal reducer. Using the Canon 1100D at prime focus, I captured images at ISO 100 and 1-125s. The best 27 were selected with Regisrax. Post-processing done in Photoshop.

I would like the image to be a little sharper!

Thanks for the comments all. The moon is a really great way to learn processing techniques. I'm hoping to get an image of a half-moon this weekend!

Cheers,
Stacy.

Its always nice to see a colourful Moon showing the mineral variation across the surface, your colour was slightly unaligned in the first one but you seemed to fix that.
