Details:
Meteoroid impact during the lunar eclipse on Monday morning. This is a happy shot: the shot before and the direct shot a few seconds after show nothing. The upper left cutout is tonemapped to facilitate the detection of the gradients of the impact.
Shooting with RASA 11"/F2.2, ASI 071 color cam (cooled @-25°C, highest dynamic range), 2 sec exposure time.
I keep reading about a "meteorite impact".The chunk that has survived its fiery journey is called a meteorite. So a meteorite is what is smashed into the earth and left. A meteor is the trace of an impact (a streak of light) in the earthly atmosphere. I mean it should be called an impact of a meteoroid, which is what moves in space and collides with the moon.
