I was not planning to try to see the latest lunar eclipse- especially when the best viewing time is in the middle of the night. But this morning when I woke up at 4 or so I felt surprisingly well-rested. So out the door I went! This was a cool sight to see! Here are my two best shots.
What exactly is a lunar eclipse? I will let Wikipedia explain: A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow.[1] This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon
The Charleston newspaper today (Nov. 20) had a few eclipse photos taken by a staff photographer. I'm glad to see my picture quality is comparable with that of a professional!
Thanks to my sister Ann who sent out some information to our family the night before the eclipse. I otherwise probably would have forgotten about it!
In January 2019 I photographed another eclipse. Check out my post here.
