Penumbral Ecllipse of the Snow Moon.jpg
The Full “Snow” Moon of February 10, 2017 undergoing a deep penumbral eclipse, and taken just past mid-eclipse with the Moon still in a deep blue twilight sky. The penumbral shading makes the Moon’s disk a little darker toward the top left (north) edge of the Moon and brighter toward the bottom edge. This shading could be seen with binoculars. Diffraction effects added the colours to the clouds.
This is a composite of two exposures: long (1 sec) for the sky and short (1/125 sec) for the lunar disk details. Taken with the Canon 60Da and 200mm lens + 1.4x tele-extender. Untracked on a tripod.
