Trying to capture the sequence w/ a rising eclipsed full moon was a bit of a challange as our eclipse here began with a bright cloudy sky. Each image would recieve additional light washing out moon detail, so a hybrid film/digital image was composited to make this image. Aloha Rob

The eclipse began just after moonrise over Seattle. I positioned myself to capture this 'Double Eclipse' - initial Earth shadow and Columbia Tower high rise eclipsing the moon.

The sky was crystal clear during the lunar eclipse and I was able to observe the entire eclipse. I took pictures of the moon at ten minute intervals and combined them to a single frame. The background picture was taken before the eclipse began with the moon lighting the scenery.

Photo details: Canon Powershot G3 at ISO 50 setting. Exposures ranging from 1/250s to 8s at f/5.6.

I went to Kas, a small Mediterranean town about 190 km southwest of Antalya, Turkey, where I observed the eclipse from the very point that I had observed the lunar eclipse of 9th November last year. #1: A few minutes after the end of totality, the Moon was about to set behind Toros (Taurus) Mountains. 06:53 GMT+3 #2: I used a 17 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for this 90-second exposure showing the Moon in the western sky. The tube of my telescope can also be seen at the bottom, as I piggybacked the camera on it.

The Lunar Eclipse locally was mostly blocked out by cloud cover. There were few, brief opportunities to view the eclipse.

Photo details: Canon 1DS, 70-200 ISL lens with 2x extender mounted on a Takahashi SP-TG mount.

I was taking images every five minutes in order to make my animation. On most of my frames I have bird crossings, but this is the largest and most clear. Orion ST80 + ATIK 2HS camera + Meade Lunar Filter + Mogg Focal Reducer.
