Lunar Eclipse - shadow sequence

“Shadow Sequence” Tenerife, Spain.

The photo montage is composed of 6 images taken at 03:05, 03:15, 03:25, 03:35, 03:45, 03:55 UT on 28st October 2004 at the Mirador del Tobonal Negro within the El Teide caldera on Tenerife. Each image of the moon is a blend of 2 exposures to compress the dynamic range of the image and maintain as much detail as possible in the brightest parts of the image. The exception is the 03:55 image which is composed of 5 exposures to compress the larger dynamic range in the fully lit portion of the moon outside Earth's shadow.

The moon is moving right to left in the sequence from just before mid-eclipse to just beyond 3rd contact as the moon is exiting Earth's umbra.

Technical Details:

Camera: Canon EOS 10D

Telescope: Televue 85

Additional lenses: Televue x0.8 Field Flattener plus x2 teleconverter

Media: 6.4 Mega pixel RAW image files

Shutter speeds: 1/6 and 0.7 seconds @ ISO 800

Processing: Two RAW image files were converted to TIF files using Canon utility software. The shorter exposure was registered, masked and blended onto the longer exposure image, using Photoshop 8. The resultant combined image was treated with a noise reduction filter in Neat Image and Richardson-Lucy deconvolution performed in Images Plus.

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.
