On 27.07.18, the century’s longest lunar eclipse occurred, forming a blood moon that was visible across South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. We went behind the scenes with astrophotographer Michi Rust on his mission to photograph it. In this video, Michi shows us his gear set up and the steps he follows to get shots that are truly out of this world!
