Animation of the Lunar Eclipse 20220515; Totality thru Penumbral Phases, West Coast Los Angeles USA

From the light polluted skies of Los Angeles… a darker than I can remember Lunar eclipse.

The nearly total eclipsed moon arose over the rooftops of the neighborhood's houses on Sunday evening, during bright twilight. I started 60 second exposures, back to back with two small refractors (TMB 92ss and SV70st) followed with a 60 second break (Great for focusing adjustments). Not a good choice for exposure times as you can see with this animation @ a little less than 50% scale. Next November's lunar eclipse I will capture 1minute on followed by one minute off (as opposed to this times 2minutes on 1 minute off).

This animation is using the SV70st with the 0.8x FF.

Here you will see the first 22 frames adjusted for the totality phase, followed by 13 frames maintaining the dark exposure histogram (over exposed penumbral covered moon/maintaining the orange umbral shadow) and ending with12 frames with the histogram adjusted for the bright penumbral shadow on the moon.

Processing perfomed in AS3!(alignment), PixInsight (sharpening), ImPPG (disc alignment) and PiPP (cropping to file conversion)

All in all I filled up 3 x 500GB SSDs and have yet to process images from the TMB 92ss.

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.
