(yet another) Telescopic Moon

Here's a shot of the Moon through a f=2063mm f/13 refracting telescope. It didn't quite fit the crop sensor of my camera, so I've stitched this from two shots. I tried stacking, but poor seeing conditions meant the stacks were worse than the best single frames.
Diameter of the Moon in full size is about 2740 pixels - the first really big Moon I've got

Yes there is a little bit of fringing, but the usual tools in LR or PS weren't able to get rid of it - I could lose the red only by making the cyan worse. The final sharpening bleached it a little bit and I left it at that rather than go in with three or four masked de-fringing layers. I suppose I could just desaturate the whole thing though..

BTW, why not de-saturate? That would get rid of the fringe colors, or better said, we wouldn't even notice them.

Thanks Kerry
I whole heartedly recommend visiting an observatory of your local astronomy society (because they'll probably have the big telescopes, and might let you shoot with them
Great! Thanks for the feedback
