The day of the penumbral lunar eclipse was bright and sunny, so it looked quite hopeful that it would be clear to catch the penumbral lunar eclipse that evening.<\/p>\n

As the sky darkened, some thin cloud built up. So in anticipation I set up the 190 Mak-Newt and let it cool down before The Moon poked its nose above the neighbours rooftops.<\/p>\n

As soon as it cleared the roof, The Moon mostly stayed clear of cloud for the early part of the eclipse.<\/p>\n

So it was on.<\/p>\n

I managed to capture a few images with my Nikon DSLR, but the thin cloud was gradually getting thicker as the eclipse progressed.<\/p>\n

Here’s The Moon taken at mid-eclipse at 19:10 UT.

Towards the end of the eclipse a nice lunar halo formed, but by the time I got my other camera out to capture an image, it had faded.<\/p>\n

I took 5 images in total.<\/p>\n

So I made an animation from them to show the progression of the shadow across the Moons disk.<\/p>\n
