Description

What is the color of the moon? When you look up at the sky, depending on the position of the moon in the sky and atmospheric conditions, it could be reddish orange when rising and setting, have a yellow tint when slightly above the horizon and grayish white when it is high up in the sky.

On a very clear night, the next time when you photograph the moon, switch to live view, zoom in and observe the surface of the moon. You can see the colors on the surface of the moon ever so lightly, without the aid of anything else.

I switched to the Moon to do a high-resolution mosaic using 18 panels of 48 seconds. Initial stacking with AutoStakker, stitched all panels together and final edit to show the subtle color variations on the lunar surface. The name mineral moon, is because I wanted to bring out some colors of the mineral deposits on the surface of the moon.
