Three photographs were used:
1) First quarter photo – made from four shots using the equipment listed above.
2) Full moon photo – taken with an iPhone SE 2022 through eyepiece projection (6mm eyepiece).
3) Overexposed full moon photo – same as point 2.

In Photoshop, I manually merged the three images, adjusted them using layers and masks, and applied light corrections (saturation, sharpness, etc.). On the overexposed full moon photo, I applied a Gaussian Blur filter and placed it as the top layer to give the Moon a glow against the sky background.
