Tracing the Lunar Eclipse
Photographer David Cortner recorded this dramatic composite sequence of the November 8 total lunar eclipse in the skies over Connelly's Springs, North Carolina. Cortner took telescopic pictures of the Moon every eight minutes, then recorded a wide-angle view in a long exposure to bring out the thickening clouds and a silhouetted landscape.

Photographer David Cortner recorded this dramatic composite sequence of the November 8 total lunar eclipse in the skies over Connelly’s Springs, North Carolina. Cortner took telescopic pictures of the Moon every eight minutes, then recorded a wide-angle view in a long exposure to bring out the thickening clouds and a silhouetted landscape. Later, the views were carefully combined along the Moon’s trail through the wide-angle image to create the sequence.
