Astrophoto: Partial Lunar Eclipse by Erika Valdueza
Erika Valdueza of the Philippines captured this photo of the partial lunar eclipse on December 21, 2010. The eclipse occurred at moonrise and appeared above the Sierra Madre Mountain Range in the northeastern part of Luzon island, Philippines.
“I wasn’t really expecting to see this eclipse because of poor weather and it was predicted to be visible 5 degrees above the horizon. Without losing hope, I tried my luck and went to one of the highest buildings in Mandaluyong City that has a good view of the east.”
The image was taken using Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi camera with Canon EFS 55-250mm telephoto lens at f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/10 sec.
