POTD 03 March 2007: Lunar eclipse squence

There was a total eclipse of the moon tonight. I went out in to the garden an photographed this squence of images as the earth’s shadow fell across the lunar surface.

The top row of images is exposed correctly for the light part of the moon. The bottom row of images is exposed correctly for the section in shadow. When the moon is in total eclipse it appears blood red.

Timetable for future lunar eclipses can be found at:
