The recent sunspot that causes an X-ray flare. This is the white light image of it. Note that it is taken with a 90mm Maksutov only! This scope is originally intended as a guidescope but in the end it impresses me as a keeper scope.

Date

November 8, 2003

Equipment

Takahashi Sky 90, Nikon FM camera body, Fujichrome 100 film.

Description

The sequence of the November 8, 2003 total lunar eclipse was captured as multiple images on s single frame of film. By allowing the telescope to track at sidereal rate, the moon moved about one diameter every hour, from the lower right corner of the film, to the upper left. The exposures were timed about every 49 minutes to allow some overlap of the images, and the length of the each exposure was adjusted according to how much of the moon was eclipsed. In all, it took about 5 ½ hours to complete this sequence.
