Three panel mosaic - Selenographic Moon in colour
Three panels imaged on the 21st February 2018 with a 33% waxing Moon on day 6 of that cycle.
Celestron Nexstar 8SE with Moonlite powered microfocuser.
Ioptron ZEQ25GT equatorial mount
ZWO ASI 174 MC Cooled running at -1c
Each panel was a 5000 frame video with best 50% of frames stacked in AutoStakkert!3.
Dark blue is titanium rich lava and dark brown is Iron rich lava in the Mare regions.
Separate processing of luminance (wavelets in Registax) and RGB data (saturation and vibrance in LR and PS) then combined as layers with luminance overlay in Photoshop.
Some Lunar 100 objects in this field:
L10 Mare Crisium
L12 Proclus
L16 Petavius
L25 Messier and Messier A
L31 Taruntius
L85 Langrenus rays
