Re: PESO: Super Bloody Wolf Moon

2019-01-25 Thread John
There might be a bit of twist from having to adjust the ball head between shots 
to keep the moon in the frame.


Just looking up at the moon while I was waiting for the next shot from the 
timer, the shadow appeared to start at about 8 o'clock and creep up to where the 
last of the direct sunlight disappeared at 2 o'clock, but when the shadow 
started to disappear the first of the direct light appeared about 11 o'clock and 
the final shadow disappeared from the 5 o'clock position.


Looks like the last two in the upper right may be rotated a little.

Now that I think about it, the earth's shadow must have been a much larger 
circle than the moon and the moon passed through the upper half of the shadow. 
The earth's rotation makes the moon appear to move from east to west, but I 
think the moon must orbit west to east?


The way I did the composite the sequence has the moon moving from lower left to 
upper right during the eclipse and now that I think about it, the sequence 
should probably be from right to left to accurately represent the movement of 
the moon through the earth's shadow.


I'll have to think about this some more and maybe work up a more accurate 
composite.

Not B&W. The moon turned out naturally monochrome because I didn't catch any of 
the red in the earth's shadow.


Each of the moon images is loaded as a layer in Photoshop.

Each layer has a linked Levels adjustment layer, masked so that the Levels 
adjustment only applies to the moon in that layer. That gives me the visible 
portion of the moon at approximately the same brightness for each image.


It was the best I could do because none moon images has any shadow detail I 
could bring out.


Thanks to you, Bob & Igor for looking.

That's a very nice composite, John!
I am going to show it to my daughter tonight, - to reiterate our 
discussion on how lunar eclipses work.


We were lucky to have a clear sky. But the entire event was past her 
bed time. And we were driving home while she was sleeping in the car.
We made sure we got close to home just before 11 pm (CST), and woke her 
up. So, she saw the totality and then we watched for a bit how the light 
started showing up on the side, and then she went to bed at home.


But she was still quite sleepy, so, going over it again with this nice 
composite as well as close-up images from Larry would be reinforcing that

educational moment.

It is rather funny that she said that she liked the solar eclipse much 
better: It was during the day (didn't need to sleep, and the effect was 
more drastic).


Thank you for sharing this.

Igor
