The 2026 lunar eclipse as the Moon set in the early morning sky, glowing through a layer of mist near totality. To preserve detail across the Moon’s bright and shadowed areas, the image was created using a series of exposures combined into a high dynamic range (HDR) composite.
The Moon was photographed using lucky imaging, capturing a rapid sequence of images and selecting the sharpest frames to overcome atmospheric turbulence and preserve fine lunar detail.
