Capturing the Moon's Surface With Video
My process starts by allowing the telescope to cool down outside so the temperature of the scope is the same as the air temperature allowing for better quality.
A single frame taken from the above video
Some details can be made out but overall the details are less clear and more blurry
2000 frames stacked together sharpened and processed
This process is repeated for all of the 33 panels
These panels are then manually aligned and stitched together like pieces in a puzzle
