About this study

The shape of a shadow.

A panoramic format lets this lunar illustration unfold like a landscape. Crater rims catch the light while their interiors fall into darkness, keeping the attention on texture rather than colour.

Example field note

Six panels, stitched. An IR-pass filter cuts straight through the worst of the low-altitude seeing.

Sample processing plan

  1. Rank and stack the example video frames for each panel.
  2. Apply consistent sharpening and tonal treatment across the panels.
  3. Align the mosaic and inspect its seams before making the final crop.
