PhotographerRod PommierLocationKa'anapali, Maui, HawaiiDate2012-06-04, 09:05 through 12:00 UTEquipmentCelestron Super C8 Plus Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope, fork mount with Byers Drive, at f/6.3. Canon EOS 20D DSLR. Exposures:All 1/1600 second at ISO 800.DescriptionOne of the benefits of travelling to Maui for the transit of Venus is that it also afforded a superb view of the partial lunar eclipse of 2012-06-04, with the moon near the meridian, with the opprotunity to capture some images and make some crater timings for Roger Sinnot at Sky & Telescope Although this wasn't a particularly deep eclipse, this composite image showing the position of the moon every 20minutes clearly shows the outline of Earth's shadow, the umbra, on the surface of the moon. |

PhotographerJohn DolbyLocationTucson, AZDateJune 4, 2012; 03:50AMEquipmentCanon Rebel XT 300mm Lens f/7.1 1/640 Sec ISO-400DescriptionAlmost missed this eclipse due to the lack of hype (for a change) in the press about it. With all the photos pouring in of tomorrow's transit of Venus, this picture will probably get lost in the shuffle anyway. Oh, well... |
