Pune: 16-YO Captures Stunning Pic Of Moon With 55,000 Images, People Online Call It ‘Epic’

Prathamesh Jaju is not a regular 16-year-old. Hailing from Pune, he calls himself an ‘amateur astronomer’ and is a budding astrophotographer – though calling him that would be an understatement because his photographs are simply WOW.

Recently, Prathamesh managed to capture a stunning and extremely detailed visual of the moon, reports News18. He took to Instagram to post the pictures and wrote:

“This is my most detailed and clearest shot of the third quarter Mineral Moon. I captured around 50,000+ images over 186 GigaBytes of Data which almost killed my laptop with the processing.”

He went on to add, “I captured around 38 panels at 1500 and 3000mm Focal Length with a 1.2-megapixel ZWO ASI120MC-S which made this image almost 50 megapixels huge.”

In the past, Prathamesh has captured similarly amazing visuals of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, the Sun, the Andromeda Galaxy and other celestial beauties!
