I was hoping that they used a medium format camera like Hasselblad or something for the larger pics... but no such luck. I guess weight might have been one factor.

Still, the pics are mind blowing. Out of this world, tbh

it was light gathering. the D5 they brought is a very old camera tech wise, but it was ideal for the low light photos of the eclipse. they also brought a Z9 for much higher resolution photos.

A 20.8 megapixel 5568 x 3712 pixels is not a shitty image. When we get to see those images, they will be much better than the GoPro images we're seeing

		Some nice images with this resolution of the far side of the Moon have already been posted.

		They also have a 46 megapixel Nikon Z9 which they don't appear to have used for some odd reason...
