Solomonic Choice
Dec 31, 2009 eclipse images by (center) Elias Chasiotis, Markopoulo, Greece, and edges Frank Ryan, Ireland
Most times there seem to be too few choices for LPOD, but following lunar eclipses - even minor partial ones - a number of observers in the hemisphere where it was visible submit images (thank you all!). I love having a selection but often the choice is difficult. For this LPOD I didn't Chuck Wood
Technical Details
Central image: Images were captured 15 minutes apart, so the whole composition shows the shape of the umbra and penumbra during two and a half hours (75 minutes before and after maximum eclipse). Equipment used: Bresser Skylux 70mm F10 refractor, Canon EOS 450D, ISO 200, exposure 1/200 sec. Processing and composition in Photoshop CS3.
