Description

I made the decision to head to the west Clare coast for the eclipse late yesterday. Am I glad I did! The weather there was perfect and the skies? As for light pollution..well... lets just say I'm moving there for good as soon as I can afford it! The shot is actually with my back to the ocean (obviously enough as the moon was rising in the East) The ruin of the cottage is right on the cliff and the water on the ground is off the spray from the waves. I took a bunch of foreground shots first with the Moon overexposing. (turned out to be a nice effect, like a light on the post.) then just clicked away every 10 or 15 min. Just before midway through very high misty clouds rolled in and you can see some of the moons in the shot are blurred. Oh-well, those are the breaks... Overall, I must say, I know some people don't think a Lunar Eclipse is anything that special. But I have to wholeheartedly disagree... So.. When is the next one?!

Equipment

Canon 30D + barlow x2 + Megrez SD 80/480 refractor on a cheap equatorial mount. 1/30 to 8 s. 800 to 1600 ISO.

Description

Despite cirrus clouds and haze, we were able to take some pictures of the eclipsed Moon and realize this composite showing the dimension of the Earth's shadow cone. It was easier with a hoop, But the Moon was too high and my girlfriend is too small. We were really really lucky: less than an hour after the end, it started raining for good! :o)

Camera: Canon EOS 20Da, exposure 1 second, ISO 1600 Lens: 1000mm, f/10, Meade 2045 LX3, SCT Mount: Photo Tripod

Description

The Moon's altitude in this shot is 9° 45'. The sky had been overcast since moonrise about an hour earlier. I had just about given up when I noticed a sucker hole drifting in from the west, and decided to wait it out. The opening lasted about 10 minutes. Another brief opening rolled through an hour later during the partial phase. Just goes to show.
