single photos Total Lunar Eclipse of 10-27-2004 with an airplane flying right next to the Moon.

An unidentified airplane just grazes the Moon's left limb during the

total lunar eclipse of October 27, 2004.

Fascinating image. I initially thought it was light reflected from powerlines from an on-camera flash unit. What was the exxposure time??

Thank you Michelle. I had my camera mounted to my telescope and used the following settings for this shot.

 

ISO 100, F8, 10 second exposure.

Very Cool, We were overcast no chance to see it

When I shot the moon I had auto settings on my Dimage A2. 10 sec f 3.5. That got very bright. I f I had used manual and set a higher f would that be as using faster shutterspeed or will it make a better exposure?

Great shot.I always try to find something of interest to add a pazazz to my astrophotgraphy .I was socked in with rain and snow last night so I didn't even get a glimpse of it.

Very nice and very original. Did you see the airplane coming and time your exposure accordingly? Image is crisp - must have had equatorial mount with motor?

Erik,

 

I did see it coming and timed for it. You called it. I did have this on my telescope with an equatorial mount and drive!

 

Thanks to all!

I sat outside in a blanket and watched the whole eclipse, like the Supergeek I know I am. lol. I tried for a few pictures, but the apartment lights just got in the way. Beautiful photo, a nice capture of such a rare event.
