Details:
In the early hours before dawn today, was a Total Lunar Eclipse, the last we will see in this part of the world until March 14th, 2025.
The Full Moon of November is known as the “Freezing River Moon”. From my location it was cool this morning too at -1C.
The Full Moon entered the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow (umbra) at 4:10 a.m. and from that point onward the lunar disk appeared to be swallowed as it progressed deeper into the darkness. By 5:16 a.m. “Totality” had started and it darken further over the next 40 minutes. Then the dawn was breaking and the Moon was setting toward the northwestern horizon and disappeared actually mid-eclipse. You had to be further west in North America to see the full eclipse from start to finish.
The clear skies and light winds were a blessing for those of us in the Peterborough area who stayed up all morning to watch this spellbinding celestial event.
My iOptron Mini Tower Pro Mount died on me before this got going so I had to hand-guide a tripod mounted Canon EOS 6D camera and Canon 100-400mm at 400mm with a Canon Extender EF 2X III. Exposures ranged from ISO 400, f/11 at 1/1600 sec. to ISO 3200, f/11 at 1.6 sec.
