Partial eclipse of the moon below the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus.
The deep partial eclipse of the moon of November 19, 2021, with the reddened moon below the Pleiades star cluster, M45, in Taurus. The southern limb of the moon remained bright and outside the umbra, making this a very challenging scene to capture and process, to bring out the Pleiades and its nebulosity without blowing out the moon too much and suppressing the bright glow around the moon from the light haze in the sky. This is an authentic scene, not a moon pasted onto a sky background taken on another night to simulate the scene.
