An incredibly ambitious project to create the largest ground-based mosaic image of the Moon, and enter the Guinness Book of Records will raise vital funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
A team of people, comprising of some of the world's foremost astro imagers, gathered at the home of Sir Patrick Moore, a long-term supporter of the Trust, in April this year. Using specialist astronomy cameras with telescopes and special software to compile and mosaic the frames, they have created an image which has eclipsed any other so far taken of the Moon.
All proceeds from the use of the final image, which is already being mooted for use at various planetariums around the UK, and is available to view and purchase at http://www.lunarworldrecord.com/, will be donated to the CF Trust.
