Astonishing!

Mr. Wojczynski should be given time on some really big telescopes.

He was apparently able to do it “on the [relative] cheap”, too.

The ZWO ASI174MM ASI174MC Monochrome camera only costs about $600.00. The telescope runs about $1,200, as does the mount.

Not too shabby considering the end product he was able to achieve.

What program did he use to paint the moon?

It took him about 28 minutes to shoot 32000 photos weighing 73.5 gigabytes using his ZWO ASI174MM monochrome camera, a couple of filters, his Sky-Watcher HEQ5 mount, and his Celestron C9.25 telescope (which is equivalent to a 2350mm f/10 camera lens) — equipment that cost him about $3500 total.

...

Not bad, but I still doubt a wife or girlfriend would approve it.

Case in point: the high-resolution moon photo above was captured last week by Polish photographer Bartosz Wojczyński. It was stitched together using 32000 separate photos.

Somebody needs a hobby.

Oh, wait.
