Description:
This is a wide-angle composite showing various phases of the partial lunar eclipse with the Freedom Tower in the foreground. The moon at the maximum eclipse was 37 deg high making it impossible to capture it close to any known points of interest. After due thought, I felt imaging with Freedom Tower would be ideal as I live close to it across the river and it still looks pretty tall! The lunar discs are separated 2.5 minutes apart. Given how tall the moon is with respect to the ground and how wide I had to shoot (31mm on full frame camera), I couldn't fill the entire width of the frame with the lunar disc, I just took a part of the lunar trajectory. The foreground shot was taken after the moon exited my camera’s field of view around 12:28 AM EDT. But, at that time it was very overcast.
