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. Phil Bishop |

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 |

Best Wishes I first noted a very deep red tinge about two thirds of the way through the partial phase, and the more orange tones appeared at totality. However I would describe it as a rusty rather than bright orange, and to the naked eye there were times it looked almost brown in colour. You got some nice images there. Phil Bishop |
