The following image shows our natural satellite 1 day before Harvest Moon. It was taken by Chris Newsome on the
16th September 2005. A total of around 1500 images were taken of different areas of the moon and the individual images were stacked in
Registax v3. Once each 'final' image of an area of the moon had been produced, the whole set were mosaicked together in Photoshop v7. The
images were further processed so that each segment matched as closely as possible the one next to it, using un-sharp masks and curves. All of
the images were taken in greyscale. Chris used a Celestron C6-N and a Meade LPI to take the images.
