Title: Total lunar eclipse
Post by: Rainer SLP on November 09, 2003, 05:57:48 pm

Hi,

I do not know about US readers but here in Mexico we had en Eclipse  :p

Here is a photo 11 minutes before totality. 30 sec later a cloud covered the moon.

We had a go at it in West Virginia.  I am branching out of astrophotography, but that is my roots.  Here is a shot with a Nikon 995 digital camera.  Hope you like it.

I have some other ideas for another full lunar eclipse in Oct. 2004.  We never seem to have an eclipse on the horizon, however.  It is difficult to include the landscape when it is so high in the sky and with no natural illumination.  Best wishes.

Total lunar eclipse this weekend - of less interest to US readers this time (probably why nobody has noticed  :cool: )
