STARS POP OUT:
Watching last Wednesday's lunar eclipse, Mike Hollingshead was amazed how "the sky went dark when the Moon entered Earth's shadow." Photographing the event from the bitter cold ("0o F!") of Little Sioux, Iowa, he documented the startling change:
Photobucket

"The first frame looks like day, but it's just strong moonlight. As the eclipse progresses the stars pop out and the ground darkens," he says. "I just love this aspect of lunar eclipses."

"It has always fascinated me how dark it gets and how the shadows change during a lunar eclipse," agrees John E Cordiale who made a similar movie from his backyard observatory in Queensbury, New York. "I used a Nikon D200 to take 30 second exposures. This worked until mid-eclipse when the batteries in the camera stopped working at the 4o F outside temperature."
