A fotografia da Lua que pode ver na abaixo na publicação nas redes sociais está sendo considerada a melhor já captada. O que pode não saber é que esta fotografia resulta da mistura de um total de cem mil imagens.

A fotografia é o resultado do trabalho do fotógrafo astronômico Andrew McCarthy e teve como objetivo evitar que a “atmosfera turbulenta” da Terra obstruísse os detalhes da superfície lunar.

De fato é possível ver a Lua com todos os detalhes e crateras.

My first lunar image of 2020 is also one of my most detailed. This is a blend of around 100k photos, which allowed me to sharpen the image and overcome some of the fuzzing caused by our turbulent atmosphere. The colors you see are real, caused by variations in the composition of the regolith. This first quarter moon also is one of the best for showing crater detail, as the long shadows long the terminator really make the details pop. . If you'd like a print, I have them available in various styles as well as the full size file for download to take to a printer of your choice. Check the link in my bio if interested. Thank you for your support, it helps me continue to bring you these images. . . . . . #nightsky #ig_nightphotography #astrophotography #universetoday #nightscape #fs_longexpo #longexpoelite #rsa_night #starrynight #milkywaygalaxy #stargazing #skymasters #longexposure_shots #astrophoto #nightimages #milkywaychasers #nightshooters #natgeospace #night_shooterz #ig_astrophotography #longexpo #nightscaper #visitsacramento #sacigers #meadeinstruments #opteam #selenophile #space #astronomy #mysacramento
