lunareclipse - a photo on Flickriver

lunareclipse

The lunar eclipse on 3rd March 2007, as seen from Leicester.

[ See also the time-lapse video version! ]

There are 22 images stacked together, each one separated by 11 mins 30sec.

Lots of stars can be seen in the photograph. Just like there are multiple images of the Moon, there are also multiple images of the stars.

At the bottom, we have Alphard (mag 2.0) going into the trees on the bottom right and Spica (mag 1.0) to the bottom left.

Above the Moon is Leo, and the stars Regulus (1.4), Denebola (2.1) and Algieba (2.2) are all visible.

The brightest 'star', half-way between the Moon and the top of the picture, is actually the planet Saturn.

I was actually at the Physics Ball drinking beer in Leicester town centre as my camera was automatically taking these photographs!
