Sergey's Astrophotography

The Moon's Polar Region

“A close-up of the lunar polar region, its rugged, heavily cratered terrain in sharp relief.”

This capture looks toward one of the Moon’s polar regions, where ancient, heavily overlapping craters create a rugged terrain quite different from the smoother mare regions elsewhere on the near side.

Captured as a single video and stacked in AutoStakkert!3, then processed in PixInsight.
