Color enhanced image of the full moon (high res here). This image has been shortlisted for the 2018 Astronomy Photographer of the year award. It was acquired with 100mm diameter apochromatic refractor and Sony A7SII.
Higher contrast, full scale detail of the image (high res here). Try this method to skip the pain of stacking and aligning a high-res LRGB or IRRGB image. By contributing author, Roger Hutchinson It's widely accepted that a mono planetary camera will generally produce better results in terms of image quality than a colour one.

New spaceship images show that the moon is way more than just shades of gray - instead, the orbital rock was observed to show tints of both blue and red as well. In 2017, I enhanced a moon photo to reveal mineral hues.

The enhancements, for example, show more clearly craters that illustrate the tremendous bombardment our Moon has been through during its 4.6-billion-year history. The dark areas, called maria, have fewer craters and were once seas of molten lava. Full Moon (enhanced color) The full Moon on March 19, 2011 coincided with the Moon being at its orbital perigee, an uncommon coincidence that made it appear (slightly) larger and brighter than most full Moons.

I went out last night and took some lunar images and stacked 20 of them to give this, with the colours enhanced (as seems popular. The Moon (saturation enhanced natural color) Full moon September 23rd, 2010 over Austin, TX.
Captured with 2000mm 8" Meade LX200 telescope with a f/6.3 focal reducer attached (flattens the field, widens the view, and turns it from f/8 to f/6.3). I processed the moon using a technique that brings out the moon's natural colors by repetitively boasting the saturation on a color balanced image.
