Lunar Eclipse Monday September 28th

Hi,

From 'across the pond', the predicted clouds never did roll in to New England.

Got good observing, perhaps slight haze later. To the naked-eye the eclipsed moon appeared pale brownish-orange. The moon appeared very large rising before the eclipse - but during totality it appeared small and forlorn!

I tool dozens of images with the 106mm refractor. See my website Variable Star Nights
for a couple.

Hi All,

First time posting here. Seeing was OK in celbridge, a but hazy. Here are some pictures I took.

Some truly fab pics on here, congrats to all.

Saved most of it on a regular camcorder & was virtually cloud-free from start to finish here in S Limerick, although a fresh breeze did spring up from time to time.

Highlight for me was at 3.37 when a ~mag 1 meteor flashed close by the fully-eclipsed disc.

Well done to you all on firstly staying up so late ! Secondly great shots there

Keith.

This was a great Eclipse, compare to the small penumbral I had seen back in 2013 anyway!

My effort after 3 long hours processing 280 shots :woohoo: - Taken from backyard on tripod. Only done the first half of the Eclipse as I was working on the morning...
