Total lunar eclipse
4 March 2007The eclipse of the moon was visible from many parts of the world, but luckily occurred at a relatively sociable hour of the evening in western Europe.
I didn’t have my tripod, so the sequence of photos above were taken with the camera hand-held, making it impossible to take a long exposure during totality. But at least the final frame gives an idea of the colour of the eclipsed moon.
Key times (in UTC) during the eclipse were as follows:
- Moon enters umbra: 2130
- Totality begins: 2244
- Totality ends: 2358
- Moon leave umbra: 0111
