The Chinese space station Tiangong (or “heavenly palace”) crosses the disk of the Moon during the lunar eclipse of Sept. 7/8. The transit was captured in 22 frames over 0.72 second just before 12:58 a.m. Chinese standard time and was blended with a high dynamic range (HDR) capture of the Moon. The photographer used a Sony a1 mirrorless camera and a 600mm lens with a 2x teleconverter, capturing each transit frame with a 1/2000-second exposure at f/8 and ISO 1600.
