Description

I have tried to make a so-called "mineral moon", where the colors are greatly enhanced, which can show some of the areas on the Moon where certain minerals are concentrated.
Some of the minerals found on the Moon's surface are iron oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide and many more.

Blue colors indicate high concentration of titanium, orange-red iron and the other colors are a mixture of different minerals.

I took about 3300 in total pictures with R, G and B filters (about 60 GB of data)

Telescope: 10" f/5 ATM newton
Mount: Sky-Watcher NEQ6 Pro
Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro
Filters: R, G and B
Software: FireCapture + AutoStakkert + Astroart + Affinity Photo
