Details:
This new photograph with an additional unsharp mask, shows a comparison of some 15" exposure shots (at right bottom of the page) completed just 10" and 15" after the time of the flare appearance, which is exactly the moment of the impact.
During the total Lunar eclipse of January 22th 2019 a meteor impact has been registered near the Grimaldi crater, in the South-East part of our Moon at 05:41:40 a.m (GMT+1). The one in the picture, is not a sensor defect of the camera, as this phenomenon has been photographed from several sites on Earth. It is important to monitor these impacts. In fact it is possible to learn about what surrounds the space among the Earth-Moon system by knowing what hits the Moon surface.
Generally, lunar impacts are characterised by short flares which last just few fractions of seconds. It has been possible to photograph this impact accidentally during a 15" exposure shot with ISO 2200 by a Canon EOS 70D in direct focus set on Celestron 8", Advanced XV nexstar mount. This photo has been taken near Bari, Apulia, South Italy.
