Description

Partial lunar eclipse of 25 April 2013 (from my image archive).

Earth shadow is nicely projected onto the Lunar canvas, composed of ~20 separate images of the eclipsed Moon. The animation at the bottom shows the Moon passing the Earth's shadow.

I used TAL-250K telescope with focal reducer (f = 1500 mm), Canon 1000D camera (ISO 100, 1/200 s, RAW). Pictures were taken in regular intervals (5 min) within 19:20-21:00 UT. Only green channel was used to produce these monochromatic images. I didn't want to deal with color processing due to low altitude of the Moon in the beginning of the Eclipse and therefore severe color corrections required.
