R-J Koppejan: "Members of the Philippus
Lansbergen Public Observatory in Middelburg (The
Netherlands) went to Westkapelle to
observe the
total Lunar eclipse this
very early morning. The moon was setting, so we only could see the first
part of the eclipse. We had fine views over the sea, and about 20 visitors
came to this beautifull spot to enjoy this eclipse." |

Soon after this picture was taken "the eclipsed
moon was lost in the blue of the morning sky, and nearly invisible,
even in my telescope!" says Poupard. " The photo was taken
with a Coolpix 885 - 1 sec. FD 2.8 - behind a Megrez 80/480, using
a 26mm plossl." |

D. Bush: "The clouds cleared just enough for me to grab
this shot. It was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 995 and 8 second guided
exposure
through an 8" f/6
Meade Telescope." |
More: from
Peg Staudenmaier of Green Bay, Wisconsin; from
Charlie Kiesel of
Fort Branch, Indiana, who says "binoculars gave the reddish-brown
moon a really nice 3-D look and the star just off the edge added to
the beauty of the eclipse;"
