Hi Alice!
Sure looks like a ghost image to me. Caused either by an internal reflection in the lens, or reflection off of the rear surface of a filter. The two keys are the fact that it's inverted from the "parent" light, which is the brightly lit portion of the moon, and the fact that it appears higher in the frame when the moon is lower (and further right when the moon is further left).
ETA: No joy here... nice clear, cold morning, but of course moonset was too early, the eclipse occurred well after the moonset here. |
Aww, shucks. I was hoping for something from the 4th dimension. but this does sound logical.
By the way, I didn't include notes, but all except the first couple were taken with the 100-400 Canon.
I started out with the 70-300 and realized almost instantly the tiny pictures were not worth the effort. |

That blue cast is probably real... check out this page. Paragraphs 6 and 7. |
Oh! I like that explanation much better! Um, I see that explanation belongs to Paul, not my little arcs.
:(

LOL, yep. It's even worse when you try it with a 70-200 on a full-frame camera :-P
Heck, I could use a 400mm lens with a 1.4x converter and I'd still have a slightly wider framing than you.
ETA: Great photos all... even though I couldn't photograph it, it was nice to live vicariously through the wonderful community that is DPC!

Great lunar eclipse shots, everyone! My results don't match up to the outstanding shots posted in this thread. However, I was trying to accomplish the placement of the eclipsed moon in the proximity of the ground (without using a photoshop trick). In this case, the mountains west of Walden, CO were just right, as was the timing of the event. The problem.... and the thing I learned... is that this situation involves a rapidly brightening eastern sky. As a matter of fact, when the moon reached full eclipse from my shooting spot at 7:06 am MST, it vanished because the sky brightened a bunch just prior to the 7:20 am MST sunrise.
With a black sky, I would have been fine. But, with the brighter bg sky of dawn, the viewing and photography of the shadowed moon became impossible. The linked image was captured at 6:54 am MST.

It was fabulous to watch. As there are lots of trees around our house, I went into the street behind, watched it until it was almost over, when it disappeared on the horizon behind the trees. Next time I know to drive somewhere else to watch it. At least I was accompanied by some of the neighbours horses snorting away.
Will need to put a converter on the Xmas list I think! I haven't processed my photos yet, as I have other things to do, having overslept after going back to bed!! |

| Yup. I live just north of Sofia and had a wash out. Set my camera up the night before, got up at 5 AM to take shots of it at full eclipse right when the moon was supposed to set here and saw nothing but fog! Crap. |

I didn't go all out (as in driving to a decent location so my images are merely "documentation".) It was 12 degrees (F) and I was frozen after this set regardless of my appropriate dress. It was already pretty bright and the moon set right at full eclipse.
