My 450GB photo of a Mineral Moon! This is my biggest and most advanced moon mosaic project yet. This photo was made from 8 different frames and thousands upon thousands of stacked photos per frame. I am so proud of myself for being able to capture this! I feel really accomplished with this one. My original supermoon photo took 9 hours to process and capturing this Mineral Moon took an additional 4 hours on top of that. This has been a CRAZY amount of work, and I hope someone can appreciate these as much as I do! ๐ŸŒ• I re-processed my data from the October supermoon to enhance the subtle color variations caused by the moonโ€™s minerals. Iโ€™ve always wanted to do this and I am absolutely SHOCKED by the details and colors I was able to pick up. Iโ€™m really glad I saved all of my original un-processed data from my supermoon session! Thatโ€™s what allowed me to have another go with this one. The full resolution files are available on my website as posters! My original supermoon photos are available as well if anybody wants one! ๐Ÿซถ These colors are very subtle even when captured with a high quality camera. To capture a photo like this you have to enhance the vibrance and saturation levels of the hidden minerals. You can enhance these colors many times in different layers, making them brighter and brighter each time. These colors vary in hues based off of many factors - including the position of the moon and the earths atmosphere. The moonโ€™s surface is made up of many minerals, including iron oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, and calcium oxide. The moonโ€™s dark regions, called mare, are rich in iron oxide, which absorbs visible light and makes them appear dark. Some other regions also contain high concentrations of titanium oxide, which makes the rocks even darker and shifts the color from red to blue. Equipment used: - Telescope: Celestron NexStar 130SLT - Camera: ZWO ASI585MC - Lens: 2x Televue Barlow - Filter: UV/ IR Cut Filter Software: - Stacking: Autostakkert 3 - Color Calibration: Siril - Sharpening: AstroSurface 3 - Colors/ Composition/ Cropping: Photoshop

This is my most ADVANCED moon photo ever! This photo took 9 hours to stack/ process and the final photo resolution is 160MP at around 450GB. I am super excited and proud of this! This is the 2024 Hunter Moon. 10/16/24 ๐ŸŒ• During this full moon I really wanted to see how far I could go with my moon photography. I collected a ton of data with multiple cameras because I didnโ€™t exactly know which ones I would use for the final processed image. There are actually a few minor errors in this mosaic but you can only see them If you zoom into the image a ton and know what to look for. This was my first try at making a moon mosaic, so Iโ€™m definitely learning for the next! Iโ€™m having trouble trying to figure out how to export these files to account for the compression when posting - so if anybody knows, please let me know! Facts about the image: - Final photo resolution is 160MP - Photo size is around 450GB worth of frames - This is a moon mosaic with 8 different panels - Each panel has 1000+ photos Equipment used: - Telescope: Celestron NexStar 130SLT - Camera: ZWO ASI585MC - Lens: 2x Televue Barlow - Filter: UV/ IR Cut Filter For anyone that wonders which programs I used: - Stacking: Autostakkert 3 - Color Calibration: Siril - Sharpening: AstroSurface 3 - Colors/ Composition/ Cropping: Photoshop
