I have finaly decided to post the following picture, it took about 36 images to complete this. Not quite full, lucky realy as it was cloudy the next night.

I did the best I could with matching the color.

Hi,

Nice mosaic,

You should use a prog called imerge by Jon Grove for stitching together the individual pics. It's brilliant it produces seamless stitches & auto adjust contrast/ levels etc. between the pics - You can't go wrong. It's also freeware... See here for download:

Cheers, John

Very nice. Take a look at the July Sky and Telescope, it has an article on enhancing the colors of the moon. Maybe worth a go.
