Total Lunar Eclipse - Wow!

Total Lunar Eclipse 28/29-08-2007This has nothing to do with CAD but thought you might enjoy. The total Lunar Eclipse tonight was an amazing sight. These photos aren’t the greatest resolution but capture the colours. My little Canon iXus on a tripod needed 15 second + exposures to get anything during the darkest part. I missed having a DSLR tonight….

Just as it started. Not sure if the halo was part of the eclipse or from cloud that cleared at just the right time.

Going, with just a wisp of cloud.

Going, lovely purple & hint of red…

Gone! There was so little light at this stage nothing showed on the camera screen at all. The moon looked red, but not quite as red as the camera sensor captured it.

Gone!
