Photographer

Antonio Moreno

Location

Madrid

Date

04 March 2007

Equipment

Digital camera at 50mm mounted on a guide telescope. Multiple exposures during the whole eclipse.

Description

The goal was to show in a picture how a lunar eclipse looks to the naked eye, and how small the Earth shadow is compared to the whole sky. To get this I mounted a digital camera (focal length aprox 50mm) on a guide telescope and took multiple exposures during the eclipse. Besides the picture is fixed to show Leo and Saturn (right-up corner) at the same time.

Location

Dougmore Beach, Co. Clare, Ireland

Date

Between 9pm & 1am March 3rd 2007

Equipment

Canon 350D & 55mm lense.

Description

I made the decision to head to the west Clare coast for the eclipse late yesterday. Am I glad I did! The weather there was perfect and the skies? As for light pollution..well... lets just say I'm moving there for good as soon as I can afford it! The shot is actually with my back to the ocean (obviously enough as the moon was rising in the East) The ruin of the cottage is right on the cliff and the water on the ground is off the spray from the waves. I took a bunch of foreground shots first with the Moon overexposing. (turned out to be a nice effect, like a light on the post.) then just clicked away every 10 or 15 min. Just before midway through very high misty clouds rolled in and you can see some of the moons in the shot are blurred. Oh-well, those are the breaks... Overall, I must say, I know some people don't think a Lunar Eclipse is anything that special. But I have to wholeheartedly disagree... So.. When is the next one?!
