Hello Astronomers,

There was a (near) total lunar eclipse last week and I happened to be lucky enough to be on the right side of the planet to see it in it's entirety....

These images were taken with a stock Canon 7D DSLR attached to my 14" Skywatcher GOTO Dobsonian.... I had my 8" SCT setup to observe it along with the binoculars... what a fantastic night.

I'll tell you that the eclipsed moon viewed through the C8 with the TV 31mm Nagler Type 5 eyepiece is a amazing sight... the full disc of the rusty moon, some stars sprinkled around it and witnessing a star being occulted by the red moon was something else.

 

Clear Skies,

MG
