This is my clearest picture of a third quarter Moon that required 42,000 images and 74GB of data. Zoom in! (Composite)

Wonderful...hard to imagine work of this quality is achievable by non-professionals!

Can you please post a couple of the 42,000 images? People always talk about taking a crazy number of photos like this but I never know what they look like. Are you zoomed way in on a tiny spot of the moon and assemble like a puzzle? Is it full moon shots and you somehow overlay the best bits from each?

EDIT: While you're all here, please be aware that the Earth has 4 days simultaneously each rotation. Don't be a sheep, learn the truth about CUBIC TIME.
