APOD: Yutu 2 on the Farside (2019 Jan 05)

<<The primary function of the Queqiao relay satellite that is deployed in a halo orbit around the Earth–Moon L2 point is to provide continuous relay communications between Earth and the lander on the far side of the Moon.

Additionally, this satellite hosts the Netherlands-China Low-Frequency Explorer (NCLE), an instrument performing astrophysical studies in the unexplored radio regime of 80 kilohertz to 80 megahertz. It was developed by the Radboud University in Netherlands and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The NCLE on the orbiter and the LFS on the lander will work in synergy performing low-frequency (0.1 MHz–80 MHz) radio astronomical observations.>>

Even in outer space, photographs of crypto-objects are grainy and indistinct.

At least on Farside Yutu 2 YouTubes.

If I were taking this with similar equipment, I'd build the Bigfoot image out of the video sequence, and then overlay it on one of the single frames. That would make it a perfectly accurate representation of the event but with a higher resolution Bigfoot image than is possible in a single frame.

A perfectly reasonable technique, IMO.
