The activity on the limb was changing as fast as we could record it. Every "capture" was different. When we processes the series of images, the motion of the flare literally jumped out at us.

Description

Exploiting the subtle colour information available in all RGB images of the moon, special processing can be applied to bring forth salient details about the lunar surface and its rich geology. For example, areas rich in titanium are characterized with the dark blue colouration; similarly, areas rich in aluminum are characterized with orange colouration.

Equipment

Canon EOS 300d, Canon EOS EF-S 18-55 mm @ 35 mm, Baader ND5.0 Solar Filter

Description

The 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.
