Lunar Impact by Meteoroid during Lunar Eclipse
This exciting development was discovered when I was reading the article in Sky & Telescope about the impact of a piece of space debris on the Moon during the Lunar Eclipse. When I examined my raw image data I saw the unmistakable flash point of the meteoroid impact on the surface of the moon. It was exactly where and when it should be.
The Canon 6D was capturing a two second exposure at this time. Very lucky!
Image Info:
Canon 6D at the prime focus of the KPO 18" Reflector. ISO 200, 2 second exposure.
