He says,"Raw data was 100GB & when you process it the data gets bigger so it was around 186GB. When I stitched them together, the final file was around 600MB" ImageImageImageImage
I captured the image on May 3 at 1am. I captured for around 4 hrs with videos &images. It took 38-40 hrs for processing. The reason behind 50,000 pictures was to get clearest picture of moon. I stitched them together & sharpened image to see crisp details of moon: Prathamesh Jaju
I read some articles & saw some YouTube videos & learned information about processing & how to capture these images. I want to become an astrophysicist & study astronomy professionally but astrophotography is just a hobby for me right now: Prathamesh Jaju
