Description

This  was an image shot near the historic locks of the Rideau Canal Waterway on May 16th 2022. Normally you cannot see the Milky way during a full moon, however as the eclipse progressed the sky darkened and the star brightened. The Yellow star Antares point the way to the blood red moon.
The long exposures required for expose the Milky Way still overexposed the  totally eclipsed moon but the red glow was clearly visible.
A stack of 12 15sec exposures for the Milky way and a short 1/4 exposure for the moon blended in. The image were stacked in Sequator and processed in Photoshop.
