I’ve always wanted to incorporate some cartographic information of the Moon into one of my photos. Here is the first result. It was quite a lengthy process to accurately place and align all this information on a single layer in Affinity Photo.
I’m quite sure this is only the first version of this project. There’s still a lot of information missing from this map – mostly due to the limited size and resolution of the underlying astrophotograph.
With increasingly better astrophotographs of the Moon, I’m confident I’ll be able to expand this map in the future and create my own personal cartographic work – but that’s a story for another time.
