Really pushed my equipment hard for the last 24 hours. Here's a 778 megapixel image of the moon
🕑 Added 2021-02-24 00:26:49 +0000 UTCThis composite image is the result of around 50,000 16-bit images, stacked and sharpened using a wide range of tools, to produce one of the sharpest images I've managed so far. The faintly visible portion of the unlit side as well as the starry backdrop are composited in as an aesthetic choice, as this more accurately represents what I see through my telescope when observing the moon, as well as what is actually in the sky. The colors were revealed after a careful saturation adjustment, revealing the rich mineral composition of our moon.
The file was too large to preview in patreon, so to view use this link: https://www.easyzoom.com/imageaccess/70cdd59a9a0b4896bc7a92d0e554c1dc
I've also attached the file.
