I took three different sets of tonight's Moon shots, different exposure values and different number of images in each stack.
All on Sony A99M2 and Sony 70-400G on a tripod. The moon was right above my head and was impractical to lift a ~2.5Kg setup
and expect aligned shots.

12 Images stacked with Zerene Stacker, f8 @1/125s, iso200



19 Images stacked with Zerene Stacker, f10 @1/80s, iso200

I always admire your moon shots since you have some powerful gear to get good details. But I sense a misalignment or shift in juxta positioning where the craters are abundant towards the dark side of the moon. Otherwise it's good.

Thanks for sharing, Sury.

Yildiz,
I seldom use tripod but moon was right above me. Camera was virtually perpendicular to ground. I am not sure if that caused craters on bright side not have perspective. Will try with a different azimuth one of these days.

I certainly hope you don't tire yourself unnecessarily but as you wish…

Good luck whatever the approach you want to take.
