The most amazing thing about the total lunar eclipse on November 8 is the blue band of the red moon!
The blue belt of a total lunar eclipse is caused by the absorption of red wavelengths of light by Earth's ozone layer. I had never photographed the "blue belt" that felt out of reach, but it was very clear and easy to photograph this time. Especially before and after C3, the blue belt can continue to shoot for up to 40 minutes. It may be that the sky is very clean that day.
For this combined photo, 5 photos containing 3 total eclipses were selected for comparison. Due to cloud interference around C2 (6:16 pm), the blue belt is not so obvious. In the middle of eclipse, the moon is in the middle of the earth's shadow, and there is almost no blue. The atmosphere before and after C3 (7:42 pm) is very clean, and the blue belt is very obvious and beautiful!
