I'd like to know more about that solitary picture. How far away was the camera, and what lens was used?

There's a similar full moon rising shot I've been dying to shoot in my home town, but there's no safe place to set up with a lens long enough to have the moon's size be impressive. Wide angle shots to establish location with the moon leaves the moon a tiny size in the image. Telephotos zoom in past the interesting scenery unless moved far enough away--the longer the lens the further away. My current plan is a big drone to support the lens but the location puts me closer to a highway than I'd like to fly a drone. Oh well, I can see it in my mind's eye

It's a little unfortunate too, there's lots of interesting things happening with the commercial space boom. Companies like observable.space are out there making incredible advancements with both software and hardware - you can task these giant systems now via api.

That’s because it’s part of a series called Tuesday Telescope where it often features a photo of some corner of the sky. Take a look at previous posts. Magnificent photos. It is not a technical report of the telescope. As described right on top of the article:

Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We’ll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we’ll take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder.

So a typical Next Generation article.

. . . where "miles apart" includes radio telescope clusters grouped on opposing sides of the planet linked by high speed fibre optics.

Sounds a lot like it's 1000inches!
