The early hours of May 16, 2022, was not an easy eclipse. The Moon was well below the threshold of good resolution due to an annoying haze and the progressive absorption effect operated by the atmosphere, well perceptible during the advancement of the phenomenon.
Having taken standard shots, normalized automatically, the brightness is indicative of these factors with the addition of the light of the incipient dawn.
The first shot is with the Moon still completely out of the shadows. Then there are some shots during the penumbral phase, in which there is a progressive shading of the advancing side. With the beginning of the partial phase, all the shots are equally spaced until the last one, when the Moon was no longer visible even by extending the exposure.
Please note that the images were taken from Italy (coordinates in the localization TAG).
All shots were taken with Tair-3S (unit 2) + 2x Panagor telephoto lens on Kodak EOS 4000D (body2) at 200 ISO - 1/400s. Tracking was guaranteed by an EQ5. Other data in the EXIFs.
