Description

Lunar eclipse of February 21, 1989 taken from Lecce with a 200mm telephoto lens Credit: Giuseppe Donatiello

Only the final phase was visible from Italy, with totality having ended a few minutes earlier. The sequence documents the progressive exit from the shadow with a still clear sky and increasingly thick fog.

Technical note Net of the graphic addition with the circumstances of the eclipse, the sequence is obtained by multiple exposure on the same 200 ISO film frame. To obtain a precise sequence it was essential to use the exposure time by mentally counting the seconds, hoping to have guessed the direction of the moon's motion along the diagonal, and shooting at regular intervals within a few seconds.

The camera was in B exposure and the shutter function was performed by a dark cap left on the lens and delicately removed at each exposure... Heroic era.
