 | Total lunar
eclipse of May 16, 2003
Despite the relatively good atmospheric
conditions, the lunar eclipse of May 16, 2003
was not particularly inspiring, as totality
happened over Belgium with the moon very low
above the horizon. It was almost impossible to
see the moon with the naked eye at the moment of
totality. I therefore restricted my short observing
session to some digital photographing
only, using an Olympus C-3030 Zoom 3.1 megapixel
camera. A representative image is shown
below.

Total
lunar eclipse of May 16, 2003 as seen
near the 12th century Roman church of
the little village of Wezeren (very close
to CBA Belgium Observatory). Inside the
church is an altar, that is believed to be
the oldest one in Northern Europe. It
shows rosettes of the Sun, Moon and 5
planets. The image is a composite of 2
digital exposures, taken with an Olympus
C3030-Zoom camera.
