6.5 days old Moon mosaic

My latest attempt to do a moon mosaic.

A combination of 21 individual frames. Images are from IMG132E camera.

Very nice Shah, I suspect that quite a lot of planning and post capture processing went into this.

Messier A & B and Mare Crisium really stand out. On my screen, it does look a little dark and slightly flat in terms on contrast. When I copied it into CS5 and boosted the contrast and adjusted curves, it really popped!

Cheers

Thanks Dennis.

I think I uploaded the wrong file.

I did make some brightness adjustment yesterday, and when I converted it into JPEG, it became slight dull. Not really sure what went wrong. Will upload the correct one.

Thanks for the pointing that out.

Excellent work but a little dark. I really must do this myself when the moon is visible again.
