Description

I had seen a couple of amazing images of 17P/Holmes approaching NGC 1499 elsewhere on the web, and went out the first available clear night to capture the action. On the evenings of march 7th and 8th, comet 17P/Holmes will pass just "offshore" of "San Francisco!"

Equipment

6' dynascope, 10X50 binocculars and naked eye used to sketch color and brightness variations within the earth shadow. The resulting color notes, drawn over printed full moon photos, were used, with video frames of various exposures as reference, to create photoshop paintings conveying my visual impression.

Description

These drawings represent observations made once the sky cleared to the end of totality. Most lunar eclipse photos overrepresent the orange to red colors at the expense of other portions of the spectrum when thay can be detected visually. In this eclipse the observed shadow colors were very 'conventional' neutral gray border to dull yellow to muted orange to dull rusty red-brown, with no sky blue border regions or local regions of distinct colors such as seen in the August 28 and numerous earlier events.
