Tradate (VA), Italy

Date

21 February 2008, 3.26 UT

Equipment

Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope 20cm reduced at f/6.3, Canon EOS 350D

Description

Even if this eclipse was not visible from my home in perfect conditions, such as the 3-4 March 2007 one, the unexpected good weather allowed to image many images. The eclipse was visible in the last part of the night, low on the West horizon. The maximum totality was reached at 3.26 UT with the Moon at about 30° heinght.

Location

Victoria, BC, Canada

Date

Feb 20, 2008 5:59pm-7:23pm PST

Equipment

Canon 30D, Canon 400mm f/5.6L telephoto operating at f/5.6, exposure times varied from 1/320 sec to 1/4 sec at ISO 1600, mounted on a Manfrotto 055 tripod with 141RC head (no tracking)

Description

This composite image shows the partially eclipsed Moon rising through the clouds near the eastern horizon over Juan de Fuca Strait near Mount Baker in the USA. It was a sublime evening, with the reflection of the eclipsed Moon reflecting off the water. The weather only cleared about an hour before the eclipse started, but we experienced beautifully clear skies for the whole event. This was a public event held by Victoria Centre of the RASC at Cattle Point, which is a local dark area that offers wonderful eastern and southern views with little light pollution from the city.
