S. Richard: "This picture shows the totally
eclipsed moon about to occult a 5.5 mag star (TYC 6192-1595-1) in
the constellation
Libra.
I took this shot right before it happened. I then grabbed my binoculars
and watched it all of a sudden disappear behind the bottom limb of
the eclipsed moon, a magical sight indeed. This occurred at exactly
10:35:15 CDT." |
