selenochromatic photography

[James Stuby]

I recall someone, probably James Willinghan, posting some "selenochromatic" images of the moon, created by combining infrared or near-infrared and images with visible light to accentuate color differences on the lunar surface.  There is a debate on a wikipedia forum now about such images.  There is a consensus among interested editors that this type of image is`the product of one guy who made up the term, and the guy has been adding the images to articles about lunar features.   I tend to think it is a more well-established technique (even if fairly simple) that is probably discussed in astrophotography texts, even if it is not called "selenochromatic imagery."  Anyone have more info?

Multispectral imaging has been a thing in scientific imaging forever. It is used to reveal or accentuate certain properties and features of what's being imaged. To give it its own name in the context of the moon, though? Eeeeeeehhhhhhh. Feels like attention-seeking. It's just multispectral imaging, dude.

I appreciate that perspective.  It sort of reminds me of Alan Binder's (and others) assertion that geology on the moon should be called Selenology.  And logically every other planet or moon has a different word for the study of its rocks.  I'm not a fan of the idea.

But selenographic imaging might just refer to a specific set of filters that optimize differences on the lunar surface.
