First Quarter Moon - Prepping for total lunar eclipse in a week


In hopeful preparation for next Sunday's total lunar eclipse.
However the weather report for that night: snow :^(
First Quarter Moon taken with a Celestron 4SE scope, Canon T3i camera.
Post processed with Luminar to adjust to b&w, contrast and sharpness:


Same image of the First Quarter Moon, January 13, 2019: The original photo was taken in color. I pushed the color saturation up considerably to bring out the various elements present on the surface of the Moon. The colors themselves represent the various types of iron and mineral deposits on the Moon. The blue hues reveal titanium rich areas while orange and purple colors show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron.
