    The photo above shows the eclipsed, blood Moon of November 8, 2022,
    juxtaposed with the incomparable Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City,
    Quebec. It was taken during the early morning hours of November 8, from
    Quaie Paquet Lévis. This eclipse was visible to some extent across
    all of North America, eastern Asia and Australia. However, only in
    western North America, in extreme northeastern Asia and in New Zealand
    was the entire eclipse visible from beginning until end.

    Photo details: Canon R3 camera; EF 300 mm lens at F2.8; 1second
    exposure; 800 ISO.

    Gegenschein Observed from La Silla, Chile

    Summary Author: Zdenek Bardon: Jim Foster

    During an observing session from the ESO Observatory in Chile one
    night this past November, in addition to various nebulae and star
    clusters, I also captured a patch of light, at center, called the
    Gegenschein or counterglow. Particles of dust and ice in the path
    of Earth’s orbit around the Sun scatter sunlight both forwards and
    backwards, depending upon their size. The backward scattered light
    is scattered (by smaller particles) with reduced intensity, so the
    resulting dim glow is only visible (to the naked eye) in extremely dark
    skies -- seen at the point in the night sky that’s opposite of the Sun
    ( antisolar point). As with nearly all faint objects, you’ll have
    better luck viewing it if you use averted vision. Photo taken on
    the night of November 27, 2022.

    Photo details: Nikon D810Da camera with ZEISS Otus 1.4/55 lens; stack
    of 27 images, each with an exposure of 60 seconds.
