The past few evenings this October, conditions have been incredibly clear. I decided to try my hand at taking multiple photos of the same moon and stacking them in software to be able to bring out more detail than a single photo provides. I used Affinity Photo on MacOS to do this and am pleased with the result. I do not have the craziest equipment, and I like working within those limitations and seeing what I can manage. These were shot with a Pentax K-70 and a simple 55-300mm lens zoomed all the way to 300mm.
