[Oka says]
She could not accept what she did previous night, and tried again.
Adequate exposure and good focus. Fullmoon is difficult to take as it
has no shadows and it's too bright, but she had done a nice job for only
at the second try! (She says she did just "How to take Astro-pictures" of
this Forum!)
What is unbelievable is this is a picture of the moon eclipse, although
she has not recognized yet. Left-top of the moon is a little bit dark.
This is a mppn eclipse penumbra. Only one time in this year 1999. (Moon
eclipse umbra will be seen in July as only one in 1999). This night, it
started at 23:04(Japan standard time), and reached to the maximum at
01:17. This picture should be the one shown in the textbook of astronomy
to explain how the moon eclipse penumbra looks like. Lily must be a super
astronomer to get this one without recognition in her very first works.
