[ATMoB-discuss] Tonight's Eclipse

[Tinkler, James B (CSC) (US SSA)]

While that is an absolutely beautiful image, my eyes can't integrate light like that.  My preference is for single shot pictures, with the background imaged at the same time as the moon.  Yeah, dynamic range, etc, limit the background stars but its amazing how well some of the single shot images turned out.  Thank goodness for diversity and galleries, everyone can find an image that is artistic and pleasing to them!

I saw it through a hole in the clouds from Watertown around 8, with a  
small portion just emerging from the umbra. Very nice, not much color  
at that point.

What is amazing to me about Chris' photos is that he captured 7th mag  
stars in the same frame as the full moon - with a 3.2 second exposure  
during twilight!

Just to the left of the moon:	Chi Leonis , mag. 4.59
	and above Chi: HIP45057, mag. 7.25
Just below the moon:	59 Leonis, mag. 4.96
Above and to the right:	56 Leonis, mag. 5.90
	to the right of 56: HIP53362, mag. 7.37
2º 45' away at the 4/5 o'clock position:	58 Leonis, mag. 4.81
Far right, 5º 23' away: 36 Sextantis, mag. 6.25

Only during an eclipse could you image stars this faint and still  
have detail across the disc of the moon, I guess. Beautiful shots.

Eric
