Lunar eclipse snapshot can be captured with a smartphone - Capturing images of a lunar eclipse is possible with just a cell phone.
On Sunday, 7th September, the night sky will be graced by a total lunar eclipse, an event that promises to be a celestial spectacle. Whether you're an avid astronomer or a curious onlooker, there are opportunities for everyone to capture this unique moment.
The moon may appear deceptively small in photographs taken with a simple smartphone. This is due to the 'moon illusion', an optical illusion that makes the moon seem larger to the human eye when it's near the horizon. However, rest assured that this effect disappears in photos, and with the right equipment, you can capture the moon's intricate details.
Carolin Liefke, the deputy director of the Haus der Astronomie in Heidelberg, assures us that even a smartphone held in your hand can be used to take a keepsake photo of the total lunar eclipse. For those seeking a more detailed view, better equipment such as a DSLR camera with a telephoto lens or even a telescope can help reveal the moon's typical landscape, complete with the so-called lunar seas.
If you're new to astronomy and want to participate in this exciting event, several astronomy clubs and observatories in Germany are offering beginner-friendly opportunities. The Stuttgart observatories, the Bodensee Planetarium near Konstanz, and two observatories in Berlin with guided live observations through professional telescopes are just a few examples. The Schwerin Astronomical Association and observatory also offer telescope observations on Sundays, which may include the lunar eclipse event.
So, mark your calendars for Sunday, 7th September, and prepare to capture the total lunar eclipse. Whether you choose to use a smartphone or invest in better equipment, this event promises to be a memorable experience for all. Happy stargazing!
