lunar eclipse

... total lunar eclipse shot on 3rd of March 2007 in Saarbruecken with Canon 5D, at the telescope's focus by Andrei and myself.

the part of the moon in the shadow of earth is red-orange because of earth's atmospheare. the umbral shadow is slightly bluish and the rim gets very bright, because the greatest eclipse is almost over.

the hdr version (previous in the photostream) is taken only few minutes later, but the rim became so bright that it was not possible to capture the image of moon with a one shot - here high dynamic range comes in handy! (10 exposures)

details on the telescope and the location available here: astronomy at mpii.

Hei man, looks like we hit the jackpot with this shot! ;)

Is this the one you said the focus is just right?

yes! there is one more with a better focus, but it's cut at the bottom so i picked this one. good job Andrei!
I'm glad that we at all decided to shoot yesterday!

Auf der Maur says:

Wspaniałe ujęcie - marzenie każdego fotografa! :) Cudowna ostrość i wyrazistość detali budowy geologicznej, rzecz naprawdę warta uwagi. Do tego czerwono-pomarańczowa poświata, w jakiej skąpany jest srebrny (tego dnia tylko z nazwy) glob :) Miałem nadzieję, że i mnie uda się uchwycić moment zaćmienia, lecz przeszkodziły mi w tym chlubnym zamierzeniu niesprzyjające warunki pogodowe. Ale cóż, bywa i tak - najważniejsze, że Ty byłeś na posterunku i utrwaliłeś to magiczne zjawisko najlepiej, jak było można :)

Andrei Lintu says:

Hi there, guys!

Yes, it was taken at the March eclipse (this one was not visible in Europe).

And it's taken with a telescope, not a lens (ok, it's a 2500mm f/10 lens equivalent)
