The article certainly lacks interesting details. Why did it take 9 months to edit the image? What nuances were involved?

Also would it have been better to capture the full moon?

There's more detail to be found in the Reddit thread linked to in TFA.

Here's an example link from that post with a few more details on the setup and process: https://cosmicbackground.io/blogs/learn-about-how-these-are-...

Right in the beginning: "Two astrophotographers have teamed up to produce an out-of-this-world photo of the moon, capturing over 200,000 shots to create a single image."

I'm no astrophotgrapher but I'd imagine 200,000 shots takes a long time to go through.
