Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse was by far the best of the two Total Solar Eclipses that I have seen, taking place at solar maximum was incredible.

The 2019 Total Lunar Eclipse was similarily incredible, as it had an intense red color, but also a bright blue lunar south pole--I have never seen anything quite like it. And yes, my image of the Lunar Eclipse is accurate to the visual appearance.

My Fantasy. Suppose we could see both at the same time. We can't in the real world, but in the era of digital photographic magic, we can wave our magic wand and Presto!

My 2019 Lunar Eclipse image and description are here: https://www.astrobin.com/388148/B/

The Lunar Eclipse was added as the top layer in Photoshop using a lighten blend mode, over the Solar Eclipse image in the layer below. Such blends are always problematic, so cosmetic adjustments were made to finish the image.

I hope you enjoy my fantasy!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
