This is the first time I have tried stitching together a picture of The Moon. Made from 16 individual images. The full res version is 10,000 pixels wide. Not entirely happy with a couple of areas of it. I'll try this again another night (knowing what I do now) and if I get better results I'll upload a full high res version somewhere so that you can look at it in greater detail.

I think the dark marks is what interest me the most. I think they tell a story more than just a impact crater.
