Partial Lunar Eclipse
« Thread Started on Sept 7, 2006, 8:23pm »

Here it is. The first image from Killyleagh. I didn't get one until the Moon rose over a hill at 20:35 local time.

And the rest...

Great shots guys! I got a lovely view of the moon rising in eclipse from a vantage point about a mile away, though my camera is not good on the features. Once again, this eclipse seemed to be deeper than anticipated, which happened with the last one as well.

Thanks very much Paul, yes I sent it in to SW but I dont know if Tony will use it or not as his inbox must be overflowing with images already.

Paul your images are fantastic as always!!

Mark I really like the telegraph pole in your image...it is a real nice visual effect, moon is so crisp with a perfect exposure!

Looks like the eclipse was a complete success for the EAAS

Hi all,

Great images everyone. Observed it from my local golf course, the moon illusion effect was very striking, below are a couple of photos.
