M. Scully. 21st of Feb
2008 |
Taken at 03:39, about 13
minutes after mid eclipse but still another 13 minutes before the
end of the total phase of the eclipse. The end of the total phase
being preceded by a brightening of the lower edge of the Moon. |

M. Scully. 21st of Feb
2008 |
Taken at 03:26 at point
of greatest eclipse when the Moon was, to my eye, a brick red colour.
This one was taken with the Canon 300D but through a 222mm dobsoian.
The larger aperture allowing a shorter exposure (2 sec at ISO 800)
to better combat the wind and passing clouds. |

M. Scully. 21st of Feb
2008 |
Taken at 01:58, just 12
minutes after the image below but the progress of the umbral portion
of the shadow is very noticable. The cloud then rolled back in with
mist blowing past in a near gale. |
