A 16-year-old boy Prathamesh Jaju is gaining popularity on the internet for his stunning photographs of the moon with ultra clarity.
Pune boy captured the images on May 3 at 1 am.
“I captured the image on May 3 at 1 am. I captured for around 4 hrs with videos and images. It took 38-40 hrs for processing. The reason behind 50,000 pictures was to get the clearest picture of the moon. I stitched them together and sharpened the image to see crisp details of the moon,” Jaju told ANI.
“I read some articles and saw some YouTube videos and learned information about processing and how to capture these images. I want to become an astrophysicist and study astronomy professionally but astrophotography is just a hobby for me right now,” he added.
