Creating a lunar mosaic worthy of wall space can be a rewarding experience. To get started, you need a webcam, a clear view of the Moon, and some time. But to construct the most aesthetically pleasing lunar portrait, try the following tips by renowned astrophotographer and author Robert Reeves. He shows you how to optimize your webcam setup, control your camera, and convert the digital files you capture into breathtaking still images.
