| Description |
A 770-millisecond exposure of the April 14th, 2014 lunar eclipse, as seen from Big Valley, California, just a few feet from our hot well-fed outdoor tubs. The bright star to the right is Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo, and the 15th brightest star in the night sky. It is a blue giant and a variable star of the Beta Cephei type located 260 light years from Earth. Apparent magnitude is +1.04 As you can see on the Moon, there are plenty of jpg artifacts. They are not seen in the original .NEF ("RAW") image. I have some HDR sets of various stages of the eclipse, but have not yet been able to align and stack them properly with the software I have. I used a very cheap 650-1300mm "telephoto" lens on my Nikon D600. The very heavy rig was mounted on a too-light carbon fiber tripod, run all the way up so I could see the viewfinder and LCD while keeping my 6'6" frame from creaking under a back-bending load. I had to keep the tripod out on the lawn, further wiggling things up, due to the risk of one of my slightly tipsy naked companions tripping on the obstruction in the dark, should I have left it on the concrete slab with the tubs. Next time, I hope to have my massive concrete foundation and pier completed, which should be steady as a rock, relatively speaking. |
