About this image

After having carried out star test on the solar converted 8" Newtonian I decided to have a go at the Moon after having watched the video posted on the Lunar section regarding capturing the Moon in colour representing the minerals. Captured six panes in Red same again in the Green and then Blue to cover the lunar surface in each filter. Stacked in Astrosurface, the three mosaics stitched in Microsoft ICE and aligned in IMPPG then back to Astrosurface to combine RGB. Final processing in GIMP to bring out the colouring and resize the image.
