The moon IS NOT a monochromatic world !

Through a telescope, some particular features show tiny differences in the hues, as there are many different geological formations composed of different minerals.

The images below were obtained with my 8" LX90 and a ToUcam ProII. Colors were enhanced afterwords by digital processing (Iris software).
