I took an 85 megapixel shot of the moon last night by blending together 24,000 individual image frames.

I've been watching this region for a few days now (it was the focus of my video tweet a few days ago). But there are more areas like this over the horizon swinging into view. Become a patron and never miss a pixel or a post- right now save 10% on a year. https://www.patreon.com/ajamesmccarthy pic.twitter.com/ESXD6kDlst

Our little star is waking up! A massive storm rages in the solar atmosphere, with knotted magnetic field lines creating burps of fiery plasma flares. Here's a high resolution image captured yesterday, a product of 10,000 individual frames.

This is Copernicus, a prominent crater on our side of the moon. 58 miles wide and visible to the naked eye, it is one of my favorite places to "visit". Here's my shot from last night, one straight out of camera and another after stacking the best 20% of 5k images.

I spent 3 hours watching a new active region appear over the sun's horizon. Look at how crazy these spots are. For scale, Earth could dunk in one of those bright spots without touching the rim.

Last night by using 3 telescopes and a specially modified camera, I captured the iridescence framing our first quarter moon in 81 megapixels. These colors are exactly how it appeared in-camera.

Many of you have asked for my setup when I shoot moon pics. Here it is for tonight's shot. I always have at least two cameras working, one for details, and one for the scene. Tonight I'm actually using 3, there is a 350mm telescope not pictured.

Last night I captured around 20,000 individual photos of the moon, that were stitched together to create one image with far more detail than otherwise possible. Take a look at how much stark beauty exists on this rock we tend to take for granted.

The color you see was not edited. My camera is more sensitive to the red portion of visible light, so it revealed pink hues in the clouds that would be otherwise invisible. If you would like a print of this image get them for 24 hours here: http://8x10.co/cosmic_background …pic.twitter.com/GEBaBFMVsJ

Jupiter was just out of frame, so I captured it separately and included it in the composition at appropriate angle and scale. You can see it in the top left. To see all the details of this image, the 81 megapixel full size was shared with patrons: https://www.patreon.com/posts/44086437 pic.twitter.com/XbQFfVA1nU

The first storm of the fall left me this parting gift, a glorious view of the setting moon framed by dramatic clouds. This is a composite HDR image created by stacking around 6,000 images to recreate what my eyes saw through the telescope.
