Each of them separately looks impressive, and together they make for a great mosaic!

Great shots. But the one that intimidates me most is the one of the right. Is that the moon? It is oddly colored, and it looks like they death star *shiver in fear*

Yes it is he moon. It is the moons natural colours brought out in post. The brownish colours are low titanium basalts that are 4.x billion years old. The darker black/blue areas are higher in titanium basalts that are 2.x billion years old.

Wonderful moon shot then, I have never seen it so colored and so detailed. Which lens did you use? It's must be a jewel to render such a beautiful image.

My William Optics ZS71 Telescope and 2x teleconverter for effective focal length of 836mm. To get the colour and detail, I took 60 frames at ISO 100. I processed teh RAW's in Lightroom and then used PiPP to pre-process them for stacking in LynkEOS. Stacking brings out the sharp details as it minimizes and reduces atmospheric disturbances, and then I used Affinity Photo in combination with LR to bring out the colours.
Each one of these images I believe has it's own post, including the Moon, and I think I went into detail on how I did it but that was done back in Feb, so really not sure right now. Heh.
