- Hi friends
- In last total lunar eclipse on 12/09/1992 I saw a star very close to moon .
- The star was approximately 50 arcseconds away from the moon . It was throug w
- estward and the magnitude was about 7 . I'm not sure about these data
- because the temperature was about -15 degrees centigrades and on my objec
- tive there was a thin ice layer . So I couldn't understand if it was a real sta
- r or an optical error .Neither on my photos nor in zoomed video images it was
- not visible . Also in computer simulations of eclipse I couldn't see any star .
- Has anybody seen that star ? If it was a star can anybody tell its HD number o
- r info about it ?
