▶ DRAMATIC ECLIPSE

David Milone

Both the illuminated and eclipsed halves of the Moon of April

15th appear in full detail thanks in part to high-dynamic-

range processing techniques.

Details: 120-mm f/7.5 ED refractor with Canon EOS 1000D DSLR

camera. Combination of 2-second and ½ 50 -second exposures.

▾ (^) LIGHTHOUSE ECLIPSE
Chris Cook
Last spring’s eclipsed Moon appears just above Spica, while
Mars shines at its brightest (shortly after it reached opposi-
tion) farther to its right as seen with the famous Chatham
Lighthouse on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Details: Canon EOS 5D DSLR camera with 24-to-70-mm zoom
lens. Total exposure was 5 seconds at ISO 1250.
