Self taught Polish Astrophotographer captures Hi-Res Moon photo by combining 32,000 shots !
Last week, amateur Polish photographer
Bartosz Wojczyński combined an amazing 32,000 images to create a super
high-resolution picture of the moon. It took only 28 minutes to take the
photos from his balcony in Piekary Śląskie, but the total file size
for the photos was a whopping 73.5 gigabytes. Wojczyński spent 5-6 hours
combining the images.Moon photography is an old art. John
William Draper was the first person to take a picture of the full moon,
175 years ago. While Wojczyński spent $3500 on his equipment, Draper
used a simple daguerreotype camera to capture his subject. You can
compare Draper’s photo with Wojczyński’s photo to see how far we’ve come.And while Draper’s photo was black and
white, Wojczyński used advanced image acquisition and processing
techniques to color the photo. He told PetaPixel that he had to map
violet and infrared images of the moon to blue and red channels in the
final shot. Bored Panda
