I took this photo a few years ago using a Canon 5D Mark III with 200mm lens + 1.4 adapter making it 280mm. This is about $8,300 worth of camera equipment, and read you really need a 800mm lens which would cost me an additional $14,000 so it would take a very long time to come up with the money.
The photo was taken in RAW format and only editing I did was naturally convert the image to .JPG format because no one can view RAW files without special plug-ins and no website viewing will show you RAW images.
I did test my image playing with the levels and stuff in Photoshop and you do see inperfections and hue around the edge of the moon when comparing other people saying the Earth photos are fake, so I really think it debunks the notion of people saying if they tinker around in Photoshop they can prove things fake, because I did shoot this photo of the moon
