Breathtaking 80-megapixel image of the moon was made from 50,000 photos

Digg:

The moon may be a regular fixture of our night sky, but it’s definitely not every day that we get the chance to see it in such incredible detail like this.

The capturing of this image was no small feat for photographer Andrew McCarthy. In fact, it took 50,000 photos and two cameras.

What a spectacular image.
