Looks very much like China has mastered real-time phase correction with adaptive optics.
Impressive picture. Must have been timed to within a few tenths of a second.

Using a camera with high frame rate video capability to image lunar/ISS, timing is not such a huge factor, and any bad frames can be easily removed prior to processing the data.

But with the latest technology, yeah.

Nice pic. It certainly does give the appearance of orbiting the Moon.
