Description
English: Composed photograph of gibbous moon. Luminance channel taken byCelestron 11 telescope, RGB color by 130/1200mm Apo refractor.

The luminance channel and the RGB channels were taken separately. For the luminance channel a Celestron 11 telescope with an ASI290MM camera was used. Each video contained about 3400 frames and covered a very small area on the moon only. To cover the entire moon, therefore, a panorama containing 56 views had to be constructed. The capturing process (steering the telescope and triggering the camera) was controlled automatically with the MoonPanoramaMaker software. The frames of each video were stacked using the PlanetarySystemStacker software.

The RGB color images were recorded using a 130/1200mm Apo refractor with a Canon 5D MK II camera. 253 images of the northern part and 260 images of the southern part were stacked with the PlanetarySystemStacker software and combined into a panorama. Finally, The L and RGB channels were combined using the PlanetarySystemLRGBAligner software.

The picture was selected as Astrofoto der Woche (Astronomy picture of the week) by de:Vereinigung der Sternfreunde in cooperation with the astronomy forum Astronomie.de.

All three software products (MoonPanoramaMaker, de:PlanetarySystemStacker and PlanetarySystemLRGBAligner) were written by the author of the image.
