Moon Mosaic
This is the full size image the Moon Mosaic.    In it you can see all of my mistakes.  Including errors in matching between the individual pictures and blank areas where I had to paint in a fake Moon.   I found that patching together the color images from the MX-5C to be very time consuming.  Not only do you need to match brightness and contrast, but you also need to match color.  Sometimes it was just not possible to match all variables across the entire image.  But it was definitely a learning experience.
