In honour of Artemis II that, as I write this, is less than 12 hours away from Earth re-entry on Day 10 of an amazing return to Luna including being witness to a total solar (vs lunar) eclipse while rounding the far side of the Moon.
Some of my total lunar eclipse pics from Tue Mar 3, mostly with Seestar S50.
Images below:
- Mid totality around 22:42 AEDT.
- More than 15 mins post totality.
- Almost 45 mins post totality. Played around with exposure and gain to get a balance of features.
- 55 mins post totality. More feature enhancing (see comment on last pic).
- 50 mins post totality messing around with exposure and gain to emphasise subtle lunar features. You can still see umbral fringing.
- Fun 3 sec handheld iPhone shot through one lens of tripod mounted 15×70 binoculars. You can see movement in the star at upper right and in the blurry Luna. The colour is pleasing though.
- iPhone shot near end of totality to left of our walnut tree. S50 shots were all taken behind the tree given the low elevation of Luna during the eclipse.
