Jaju took 4hours to click the picture of the Moon and spent almost three days finishing the process and editing because the picture was an HDR Composite of two different images which made to give it a 3-dimensional effect. It was his most detailed and clearest shot of the third quarter mineral moon.. around 50000 + images over 186 Gigabytes of data which almost killed his laptop with the processing.
He first captured images by capturing multiple videos on different small areas of the Moon. Each video contained around 2000 Frames. First, he established them then he merged and stacked each video into one image …so he took around 38 videos now he had 38 images.
During the interview, he said that he wished to become an astrophysicist and study astronomy as his major, and astrophotography was just his hobby.
