Details:
The sky conditions were not favourable here to view the lunar eclipse because of a large band of cloud on the eastern horizon. …But to my surprise not long after sunset I saw a pretty crescent eclipse Moon rising above the houses across our waterway…Yay!...We were going to see something after all ☺ ☺ ☺
I had already set my Camera up on a tripod in the hope the sky would clear (I’m always the eternal optimist) and this time I was rewarded!
But my hopes were dashed, when only after 5 minutes the partially eclipsed Moon vanished behind clouds and it stayed that way for at least an hour. By the time the eclipsed Moon was back in the sky it was at it’s full 97% coverage with that telltale orange red hue.
The sky conditions were very poor for taking images, but I did manage to capture a couple of pictures through the clouds, we were just so lucky to even have seen it at all ☺
Images captured with a Canon 70D camera and a Tamron 18-400mm lens with a 2x teleconverter attached making a focal length 1280mm. The lunar eclipse photo had an exposure time of 2 seconds and ISO 640, three images were captured and stacked in Registak6 a processed in PS CS4.
