Pune: Prathamesh Jaju, an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer from Pune, Maharashtra, has clicked one of the clearest pictures of moon.

The image, which has been shared widely on the internet, has left the netizens awe-struck.

“Raw data was 100GB and when you process it, the data gets bigger. So, it was around 186GB. When I stitched them together, the final file was around 600MB,” ANI quoted Jaju as saying.

“I captured the image on May 3 at 1 a.m. I captured for around 4 hours with videos and images. It took 38-40 hours for processing. The reason behind 50,000 pictures was to get clearest picture of moon. I stitched them together and sharpened image to see crisp details of moon,” he added.

The 16-year-old further said “this image is an HDR Composite of two different images made to give it a 3-dimensional effect”.

“This is my most detailed and clearest shot of the third quarter Mineral Moon,” he added.

Talking about his assignment, Jaju said that he “read some articles and saw some YouTube videos and learned information about processing and how to capture these images”.

“I want to become an astrophysicist and study astronomy professionally but astrophotography is just a hobby for me right now,” he added.
