High Resolution Color Lunar Imaging

Ғылым және технология

#moonphotography #lunarimaging
Join me as we image the Moon in high resolution and transform the bleak grey landscape into a colorful display.
By taking high resolution data up close with a planetary camera of the lunar surface of craters, mountains, and maria, the result is a sharp monochromatic image we can use as a detail (luminance) layer. By taking DSLR data and stretching the colors like the "Mineral Moon" video, we can overlay that color data onto our detail layer for a LRGB close up of the Moon's features.
Looking at the Moon visually, we see it glowing intensely against the dark background of space. In reality, the Moon is quite dark and almost black in some areas. The intense light from the Sun brightens the surface so much it appears almost white from Earth. In pictures, with the right processing, we can actually bring out the colors of the minerals that compose the Lunar Landscape.
These various minerals include: Iron oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, and more.

    I’m trying to photo-stack the moon, but I am too zoomed in because of my telescope. Can I photo-stack the moon if I have pictures of the moon, but in pieces rather then the entire moon?

    Hey Joe. So sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can most definitely do mosaics to get even much higher resolution images. Just make sure you have about 30% overlap between your panels and you can use Lightroom, Photoshop, or my favorite Microsoft ICE to stitch them into a panorama.
