(unfortunately camera sensor had difficulty picking up an exposure on the faded red globe of the eclipse, and loss of feeling in fingers due to low temperatures made camera setting adjustments a challenge)

Nice shot jimmy_racoon. I know what you mean about cold fingers!!

My sky was and still is clouded over. If I did have clear skies my fingers would also have gotten very cold last night as it was 30+ degrees last night.

BLOOD MOON


In NZ we got to have both a very favourable location and time to engage with this rare event. The last time such a blood moon happened of this duration was apparently in 1212 CE - before there was any human population here.

It happened in the late evening: from about 9:30-12:00am and the sky was clear, but alas with a very thin veil of cloud that also reflected the light pollution of the city and thus reduced the image quality. Still, I gave it a go.

I think the white dot to the lower right of the moon is likely to be Venus, but I will take advice on that!

Beautiful shot!!

Do you have Stellarium? That is a FREE program (small fee (I think $2.49USA) for cell phone) that will show you where every thing is at YOUR location!

Great program!

This was taken roughly 16 hours AFTER the big eclipse as I was clouded in at the time of the eclipse.

BUMMER!!
