How to Capture a clean and detailed Mineral Moon Mosaic with Seestar?

Anand Murali's workflow for creating the lunar mosaic and mineral Moon image using the Seestar S50

1. Capture the Moon using 2x zoom in RAW format. I divided the Moon into two halves and recorded each half separately for about 1 to 2 minutes to avoid field rotation issues

2. After capturing, I stacked each half using AutoStakkert to improve detail and reduce noise. This gave me two high quality stacked images

3. I then combined the two halves in Photoshop to form a full Moon mosaic

4. For processing, I first applied auto color to bring out natural color information. Since the image was captured at higher zoom, there was some color noise present. I used color noise reduction to clean the image while preserving the real color data

5. I gradually increased vibrance and saturation to reveal the mineral composition of the lunar surface. Finally, I made adjustments to contrast, whites, blacks, and shadows to enhance depth and visibility

6. For the final look, I slightly reduced clarity and texture to achieve a smoother and more natural appearance while keeping the important surface details intact

This method helped me create a clean and detailed mineral Moon mosaic using the Seestar S50
