Hi folks
I captured this image on Wednesday evening during the lunar eclipse over South Africa. This image was taken at 9:02pm when the moon was about 50% in shadow. This image is not manipulated or modified in any way whatsoever, this is what came straight out of camera. The optical effect was quite likely caused by misting and heavy dew fall that evening, even though I was cleaning lenses with an anti-mist cloth every 2 minutes. What I do find interesting is that the optical effect actually shows the moon being cast in a shadow, sitting in a tunnel of Earth's blue light giving us a view into deep space.
Enjoy
