$Capturing the Full Moon Captured the March 7 2023 full Moon with my TEC160FL refractor on a TTS160 mount with a ZWO2600MC Pro camera. Best 5% of 3160 frames captured in Sharpcap and stacked and adjusted with Affinity Photo. Bluish areas of the Moon are rich in Titanium while brownish areas are rich in iron. Stars added to create more of a 3D effect. With the normal full Moon exposure setting (5 milliseconds) stars would be invisible.
