The mirror is approximately 23.inches in diameter and the focal length is 96,000mm. It says that the pictures were taken with Toucam on Cassegrain telescope and the resulting images were reconstructed with 400 -700 individual pictures with the aid of photoshop, which sounds like a jigsaw puzzle to me. |

I see he also mixes inches with mm, make one suspect he works for NASA ;o) I roughly compared his pictures with some others already taken by others. He said that the the reconstruction method he used is already known with Photoshop but it doesn't seem 100% accurate to me. |
