A teenager from Pune gained popularity on social media by capturing one of the clearest pictures of the moon.

The reason behind the 50,000 pictures was to get the clearest picture of the Moon. I stitched them together and sharpened the images to see crisp details of the Moon," he said in his social media posts.

The teenager told the news agency he began taking the pictures at 1 AM on 3 May and completed the shoot in four hours. He added the processing took 38-40 hours.
