Description

This was an attempt to make the highest-resolution color image of the moon that I could make.  I also experimented with different alignment techniques that would align large images and correct for seeing-induced distortion. Ultimately I used diffeomorphic alignment routines freely available from DIPY.org and Python to align the images with distortion correction.  The color saturation has been increased by a modest amount to highlight the differential coloration of different regions of the moon.
