A 20MP lunar mosaic assembled from 9 panels, with each panel created by stacking the best 20% of frames from a 1-minute capture.

Telescope:
Celestron NexStar 127SLT

Camera:
ZWO ASI662MC

The Discord compression is unfortunate, here are some close-up screenshots.

Incredible. Are there tutorials for mosaics that don’t require stacking? I’m sure there are but most may be from the best frames

Thank you! I would always recommend stacking and wavelets as it greatly improves sharpness. For the stitching I just use Microsoft ICE, which is very easy to use. It works for all types of images and can do it automatically.
