Reposted by Marc LlagunoKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 04/04/2026The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing!

Marc Llaguno @marcllaguno.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Let’s unpack the picture taken from NASA’s Orion after translunar injection by Reid Wiseman. See alt text. This shot was taken with a Nikon D5 DSLR at ISO 51,200 which is why it is grainy. See also @astrokatie.com’s video annotation. www.instagram.com/reel/DWryhfx... #artemis2 #astronomy #space 25620

Marc Llaguno @marcllaguno.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I’ve cropped the image and boosted the saturation, contrast, etc in iOS photos. Three Galilean moons become apparent. Callisto is not included because at 4x, it is out of the frame. 120
Marc Llaguno @marcllaguno.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Sure. I centered Jupiter and went up to 4x. My exposure was around 2 ms and gain was around 50. You can adjust both until you get a hint of the bands in live view. Then, I go to movie mode and set it to RAW. I took a one min video and then stscked it. You can edit the final image in the app. 130
