Details:
On May 15-16, 2022, a total lunar eclipse occurred, visible primarily over western Europe and the Americas. Located in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, I had a truly spectacular view of this particular phenomenon nearby the center of the Milky Way in the dark skies (and almost in zenith). Thus it was well possible to realize this deep sky image with the eclipse itself. The eclipsed Moon was extraordinarily dark due to the ash of the Tonga volcano in the Earth’s atmosphere (of the southern hemisphere) and such an HDR image was more possible. Since the totality took only about 85 minutes and the deep imaging of the surrounding of the central Milky Way took more than 8 hours, the foreground was continually captured during nights before the eclipse. Besides the Milky Way and eclipsed Moon, you can also find dark nebulae nearby our Galaxy and the Zodiacal Light with the Gegenschein close by the eclipsed Moon. For the foreground, Canon Ra and Sigma 50mm (f2.8, ISO 6400, 70x30s stacked for a panel of 8 segments of panorama) was used, tracked on Vixen Polarie U. To reveal the Rho Ophiuchi nebulae, I used Astronomik H-alpha and OIII narrowband filters as well, with Canon 6D modified and the same lens (and settings). I would like to acknowledge Tomáš Slovinský and Josef Kujal (of the Astronomy Society of Hradec Králové) for their deep support of this eclipse photography.
