Am Montag habe ich zwei Teleskope und 500 GB Fotos verwendet, um dieses zusammengesetzte Bild des Mondes zu erstellen. Achten Sie auf, es kann Ihr Gerät abbrechen, wenn Sie sich zoomen. [OC]

This composite image took about 225k photos to produce, using one telescope dedicated for detail and one dedicated for color. The lit side of the moon is a 75 panel mosaic, which allowed me to make the final image around 300 megapixels (including negative space). I used so many images to conquer the effects of the atmosphere on the details, while giving me such a strong signal-to-noise ration I was able to bring out all the subtle color in the moon’s regolith without artifacts. It’s interesting to compare this to the photos I was sharing here when I first started posting 6 years ago- as my techniques have evolved quite a bit as I learned the craft!

I zoomed all the way in but still couldn’t see the USA flag

I’d love a print of one of these someday. Do you sell digital images that people can make their own with, or prints themselves? Thanks!

Okay this has to be a joke I zoomed in on my samsung s23 and was able to pan around and observe with no hiccups no way you can lag for look at an image in 2025 😭

I wonder if anyone will make one of these without messing with the color sliders in post. It’s a shame to see a moon that looks nothing like the one above us in EVERY SINGLE high rez photo

This is insane OP. Absolutely incredible work!
