Moon Mosaic - It's a Stitchup!

This was an unexpected experiment which I just thought of the spur of the moment.  I'd taken four different stacked segments of the moon with my planetary camera and C6se telescope whilst I was waiting for the skies to clear. I didn't try to get full coverage, just focusing on interesting parts of the moon.  But as the segments came out quite well, I thought I'd try making a mosaic by stitching them together in Photoshop using the PhotoMerge feature. I had no idea that it would be so easy and come out so good.  


When I saw this result I was sorry that I hadn't tried for full coverage, and so I decided just to crop the biggest complete area I could.


Next time I'll be looking for full coverage!
