Eclipse Trail

The entire phases of a lunar eclipse has captured here on a single frame of film during March 2007 eclipse. The scene is captured over the historic village of Abyaneh in central Iran. To make it, the photographer set his camera on a tripod and locked the shutter open during the eclipse to record the trail of the Moon (and few startrails) sliding through the night. Reddish hues common during the total phase of a lunar eclipse, are evident along the darker, slimmer portion of the Moon trail.
