Description

I got up early last Monday to take a look at the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. Given the weather forecast , I did not have high hopes for anything particularly good in terms of imaging. The Clear Sky chart once again nailed the forecast and there were high, thin clouds in the area during the deepest time of the eclipse (~4:43 AM EST). I imaged the event with the Stowaway, Nikon D850 and 2" Advanced Convertible Photo-Visual Barlow. While the RAW image from the camera was less than impressive, I applied the ‘Equalize’ function in Photoshop to the Lunar Disk and was pleasantly pleased with the artistic nature of the result.
