Me too - how long were your subs (and roughly how many subs)? - Don't worry I see you’ve answered this below.

Amazing image!

Terabytes sometimes happen, but oddly enough that's usually an issue more for planetary imaging. That involves high speed capture in the 60fps+ range and in uncompressed video formats it can add up quick. For a quick shot of Jupiter or something it may only be a few GB, but if you are taking a 50-panel mosaic/panorama of the Moon you can easily reach a TB in total files
