Lunar Eclipse - 2008 FEB 20
Here’s a photo I captured of the lunar eclipse two minutes after maximum totality. It was taken from Arlington Heights, Illinois on 2008 FEB 20 at 21:28 CST. Saturn is toward the lower left and Regulus near the top. A reddish hue is apparent on the Moon. Even though the eclipse was in totality, the lower right limb of the Moon appears brightened because as viewed from that region the Sun would have been barely hidden by the Earth. The coloration and brightening were enhanced by the 0.77 second exposure and F/2.4 aperture. The picture was shown during a weathercast on Channel 7 in Chicago.
