a vivid shade of red. [full

Though
the clouds were coming and going, I managed to get a few
shots of the eclipse using an 80mm University Optics refractor
(f/6.3) and a Canon
10D camera, 100 ISO, 3s exposure. |

The
spectrum of the moon was taken just before eclipse starts
with a simple
spectroscope made from a CD and a cereal box. As moonlight
is reflected sunlight, the spectrum is continuous with dark
lines, i.e. the Fraunhofer lines (some of them are marked).
The eclipse photo is taken with 8'/f6 Dob, 18mm eyepiece
adaptor, Nikon
coolpix 995 camera. |
