Raising lunar gamma to 1000 is an operation performed in digital image processing to enhance lunar images. It involves increasing the gamma value of the image, which controls the brightness and contrast, to a value of 1000. This enhances the visibility of features on the lunar surface, making it easier to identify craters, mountains, and other geological formations.
The technique is particularly useful for studying lunar images taken under low-light conditions or when the surface is covered in shadows. By increasing the gamma value, the image can be brightened and the contrast between different features can be enhanced, making it easier to distinguish between different surface features.
