      Full Resolution is far too big of a file to post on reddit, so here’s the download link for anyone to access for free: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i7fEdNMINe3qXbDyYhQa-HaW2RrwAG7n/view?usp=drivesdk

      This is easily my highest resolution Moon image ever thanks to excellent conditions and plenty of data. Real mineral colors are visible on the surface, made of mainly titanium and iron oxides.

      Equipment: Celestron Nexstar Evolution 9.25”, ZWO ASI662MC camera, IR850nm filter + standard light for color. 75 seconds of data on each panel of the mosaic, dozens of panels taken in total.

      Processed on ASIStudio, Autostakkert, and Registax6. Mosaic done on Microsoft ICE.

      Hey OP, why is it only 45M pixel after you mosaic 200k frames, i thought a decent camera already has at least 10M pixel per frames,, shouldn’t be the final picture 4 Billion pixels or something ridiculous?

      That reminds me…

      About 10 years ago I found this awesome HD picture of the moon printed on glass at Homegoods, like truly beautiful. Thing was like 4 feet x 4 feet and flawless. I didn’t have room to get it that day, and it was gone when I went back. I kick myself whenever I think about it, so thanks for that OP 🤦‍♂️😅

      Using video to image things in the solar system has been one of the biggest game changers for amateur astronomy, especially given all the free software to both capture it and then process it.

      It’s just so much easier to get large amounts of data on a single object now and run it through automated stacking and processing. Its a great time for astrophotography.

      Nicely done.
