Details:
I was lucky this morning to capture the nice total lunar eclipse visible mostly from the western US. The almost 1-hour totality was nicely colorful, especially at the end, when a blue hint also appeared at the edge of the eclipsed Moon due to sunlight scattered by the ozone layer in the higher atmosphere. And by now, we need to wait for another total solar eclipse until 2028. A deep partial, however, will appear in the sky at the end of August. Used Nikon Z6III, 1000mm x 1,4 teleconverter, f10, ISO 2000, 4s exposures. Full Credit: KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek (Institute of Physics in Opava)
