Default ASTRO: Lunar Eclipse

Lunar eclipse has gone very well tonight here in the UK, conditions very
good to start with, but around totality some thin bands of haze
appeared.
Have taken a series with Nikon D2x and a 500mm f4 Nikkor on a fixed
tripod. Exposures typically one second f4 at iso 400.
Will go through the rest tomorrow to see if there are any better ones
than this.

Like mine, the colour was much more 'muted', than some of the pictures
being posted. For me, visibly there was really noticeable red earlier,
then latter, the colour became a paler hue. Just been looking back at some
images from the start, and these have much more red visible, than those
from a few minutes latter, and putting a couple of images 'side by side',
from about twenty minutes apart, shows the change. Moonmos1, was taken at
22:47. Moonmos2, at 23:10. Same camera and filters (ST2000, with Astrodon
filters). Some of the latter images, have even less colour showing.

Best Wishes
