Andrew posted this image on the Instagram handle, @cosmic_background and added a detailed caption. He wrote, “From two weeks of images of the waxing moon, I took the section of the picture that has the most contrast, aligned and blended them to show the rich texture across the entire surface.” McCarthy further added, “This was exhausting to say at least, namely because the moon doesn’t line up, day over day, so each image had to be mapped to a 3D sphere and adjusted to make sure each image aligned.”

Andrew McCarthy reportedly captured this image on ASI1600MM and the Celestron edgeHD 800 telescope. This stunning moon image was captured when the moon was in the twilight zone. Take a look at this image here.
