Lunar Eclipse Composite 2013-04-25
Partial Lunar Eclipse on April 25, 2013. The image in the center was taken at greates eclipse (20:07 UT) when 98,7% of the moon's diameter was eclipsed by the Earth's penumbra, but only about 1,5% of the moon's diameter penetrated into Earth's dark umbra. The other two images were taken when 70% of the moon's daimeter was eclipsed by the penumbra - the right image during ingress (19:06 UT), the left during egress (21:09 UT): Here, the Earth's penumbra is just visible as a slight darkening of the Moon's upper left (ingress, right image) and upper right (egress, left image) limb.
Composite of three shots (1/125, 1/250 and 1/350 second), taken with a Canon EOS 550D at ISO 800 trough a 90/1000mm refractor telescope.
