Ged MaheuxHere’s your high-res moon fix. 🤓😜
1000 frames stacked using a Nikon Z8 and Takahashi TSA-120 telescope > modified GoPro.
Note: I am not the author/photographer, please do not credit me, found video!

@gedeonm don’t suppose you can share the whole photo without the Ken burns? That would be an *amazing* desktop background.
@SimonCHulse Tried to find a link to the single 40 megapixel image from the author who took it but unsurprisingly I see no link to the complete image. The photographer’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWzUauYkw5q/
If you find it please let me know!

Mother BonesNow I'm even more confused. Ged, you are not the photographer then?
@_L1vY_ @SimonCHulse No, it was a found vid. Def ground based, not Artemis.
@_L1vY_ I updated the original post to try and help clarify that.
Peter Janes@gedeonm @SimonCHulse That Instagram account seems to be a content scraper. Bluesky folk identified the creator as Adam Kyle Jackson; he's got a YouTube channel with a long history of similar work, including this from a year and a half ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIy9Ob5P6uo

K. Langoso 🇧🇷🔴🐷🇳🇬🏡😷@me @gedeonm @SimonCHulse While this guy *may* be the creator of the OP video, those are not the same. The Instagram one shows a shadowed moon at the bottom, while the YouTube one crops the bottom. And Moon’s orientation seems to be different, showing different craters a the bottom left. Can’t say for sure because I’m on a phone and can’t compare them side by side.
@klangoso @gedeonm @SimonCHulse Yeah, the older video was just to indicate that he's been making them for a while, with similar equipment and results. His newest is the same video and was up before any of the social media messages that I've seen.
Rob Vincent 🎙️@SimonCHulse @gedeonm Going by the description this appears to have been originally recorded as a video.
A composite image could certainly be 'shopped together from these frames by someone with the skill and time.

@gedeonm someone was using it as a driving range methinks.
You S Blues@gedeonm - You can't fool me. That's the Yucatan Peninsula.
oldfartjmb says FREE PALESTINEThank you! I enjoyed that and was a bit blown away.
@johnb48 Most welcome. I love space.
Mutesplash@gedeonm NASA out here learning nothing about how to get more funding.
@Mutesplash Yep, sadly I agree. Def not helping the cause.
Evelyn Octavia@gedeonm that's incredible!
draNgNon@gedeonm as I played these frames, my music stream swapped to play Vangelis' "Echoes", how apropos
@draNgNon n i c e 🤓
Steve's Place@gedeonm Superb images! 👍
Andy
WiredForFlight@gedeonm oh wow, great job!
@WiredForFlight Not mine! But it’s awesome for sure.
@gedeonm Okay I deleted because I think this means you really are the photog? It is being shared as an Artemis shot on bluesky and people are creating confusion about it being AI. It's too bad because it is a lovely image.
Stargeezer Smith@gedeonm
That's pretty impressive, and sharp.
