Space photographer shares 778-megapixel images of moon and here’s how it looks
Popular Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy recently took to his official Instagram account and shared a detailed 778-megapixel image of the moon. In the post, he termed the image as one of the most detailed images of his career.
McCarthy sells prints of his astrophotography through his online store, but a section of his website notes he doesn’t treat it as a way to make a living.
“I keep the prices low to make sure anyone interested in my images has a way to hang them on their wall.” He also says any money he makes from his images goes straight to upgrading his photography gear.
McCarthy has captured images of a variety of heavenly bodies, from comets to distant galaxies. And he’s had other photos go viral in the past.
In the Instagram post, McCarthy included an explanation of how he created the image. He also posts tips and tutorials on his Instagram account, @cosmic_background.
Here is how the moon looks from the 778-megapixel lenses in McCarthy’s camera.
