PhotographerAnthony AyiomamitisLocationAthens, GreeceDateSept 03/15, 2006EquipmentCanon EOS 300d, Canon EOS EF-S 18-55 mm @ 35 mm, Baader ND5.0 Solar FilterDescriptionThe end of each Saros cycle (every 18 yrs) allows for a unique opportunity to observe the rising moon exhibit the greatest possible variation in azimuth at moonrise and which translates to a maximum declination of 28.60° above AND below the ecliptic during the SAME synodic month. It is my understanding that this is the ONLY photo in existence documenting this phenomenon. |

PhotographerMichael HutsonLocationKauai near the city of LihueDateFeb 15, 2007 11pmEquipmentCanon EOS 20D, 18mm Tamron LensDescriptionI pointed my tripod mounted camera near the star Sirus and framed the shot such that I captured two palm trees in the foreground. I could see Orion appearing to the upper right. The exposure was long enough to register many stars and Orion, as well as show some detail in the palm trees; but was short enough to minimize any star trail effect. |
