Mineral Moon mosaic
Waning Crescent Moon, 40 % illuminated
A Mineral Moon photo lets you see what you can watch of the Moon: its colors!
As you can see, lunar maria are blue, because of their basaltic composition, while mountain zones are usually orange/red for anorthite.
Technical data: It is a “mineral lunar” mosaic (oversatured to exalt colors), made up by 3 photos of 3 parts of the Moon for luminance channel + one photo (from a 18 min video) for RGB channel . Each luminance photo is a stacking of 6 min videos, captured by a Canon Eos 550d and an Explore Scientific Maksutov MN 152/740 with afocal method.
RGB channel was captured by a Canon Eos 1300d that followed the Moon by a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer.
I elaborated them by PIPP, Autostakkert, Registax and Photoshop. The mosaic was made up by Autostitch.
