Gigapixel photography is the craft of shooting hundreds or thousands of photos and joining them together into a single, seamless, ultra-high resolution image. These extremely large images are typically shot with a complex setup involving long lenses and a programmable robot, typically requiring weeks or months of post production (but we can do. Two astrophotographers, Andrew McCarthy and Connor Matherne, took almost a full year to create a spectacularly detailed and colorful image of the Moon.
The result was a hyper-detailed image of the Tycho Crater with 16.4-foot (5-meter) resolution. It took hundreds of thousands of exposures to get this level of detail, and you can now enjoy the fruits of their labors. The "ridiculously detailed" image.
(Andrew McCarthy/Connor Matherne) Time to upgrade your wallpapers, people. Two astrophotographers have just dropped what they call "the most ridiculously detailed picture" of the Moon - the result of a painstaking, neck-craning effort roughly two years and over 200,000 frames in the making. This stunning high-res moon image reveals the moon's surface, craters, and lunar topography in incredible detail.
New images from the Hubble telescope show an extrasolar entity as it hurtles through our solar system at speeds of more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). Space Art: 1.3-gigapixel Moon photo is created from 280 thousand photos Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy created GigaMoon, a 1.3-gigapixel highly detailed photo of the Moon made from 280 thousand individual photographs. McCarthy spent a lot of time creating gigaphoto, and several times his work was almost disrupted due to bad weather conditions.
