I Took a 300 MEGAPIXEL Image of The Moon!

Let's go for a Moon tour! In this video Aleksi explains the basic idea of how Moon mosaics are made and shows a detailed final result at the end of the video. Enjoy!

Very nice. I have left my scope set up to look at planets in the day but haven't done any imaging of them. Your moon looks great. Subcribed.

I managed to make a 150 megapixel moon image, with a dobsonian telescope and a phone. So remember that you don't always need expensive equipment to make a great image!

[@astroartfinland]

Agree!

[@endakelly4890]

How did you figure that your final mosaic was 300 megapixels?

[@astroartfinland]

Thank you for your comment. Converting image resolution to megapixels can be done with simple calculation. You need to multiply the width by the height and then divide by 1 000 000.

NIce video. I'd love to see how you determined how to frame up the sections and then the processing to make the final image! Clear skies!

[@astroartfinland]

Thank you! The field of view used in this was relatively big so i managed to roughly slew manually the telescope to the different parts of the Moon. The image in this video was made from 4 panels. We can do Moon mosaic image processing video in the future but shortly explained this was sharpened in registax and then combined in photoshop. Since it was only 4 panels, so the aligning was pretty quick and simple in photoshop. Finally it was just blending the four frames using masks and a brush tool. =)
