Sea of Iron
From crater Theophilus (100km diameter) below to crater Langrenus above.
Blue is titanium rich lava, red is Iron rich.
Below Langrenus is the Mare Fecunditatus, To the right of Theophilus is the Mare Nectaris, to the left is the Mare Serenitatis.
Assuming the Moon has a diameter of 3475km = 30 arcminutes, Theophilus is approximately 52 arcseconds across.
Celestron Nexstar 8se 2000mm f/10
ZWO ASI174 MC cooled CMOS camera
Ioptron ZEQ25GT Equatorial mount.
Acquisition: FireCapture
Stacking: AutoStakkert!3 best 50% of 5000 frames
Processing: luminosity- wavelets in Registax6 then luminosity masked over RGB image. RGB - saturation enhanced in Photoshop.
