I get an Earth/Sky News email regularly about what to look for in the night sky. Yesterday’s email announced a Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse so we were out there to see it. It was not as dramatic as I had hoped. All I could tell was that one side was a bit darker than the other, with no clear earth shadow. It was a beautiful, clear and warm night so it was nice to be outside anyway.
I’m glad I didn’t stay up until 0300. The comet was only visible with binoculars or telescope. I would not even have know where to look.

It was a beautiful moon, I watched it too from my side of the world here.

It was beautiful, even if I couldn’t tell it was an eclipse.

I agree! I could barely tell that it was an eclipse.

You didn’t miss much. I could hardly tell it was darker. Although I read an article that showed the regular moon and one of these penumbral eclipses and the difference was clear.

If that’s your picture of the moon, that’s fantastic! I’ve never done well with moon pictures in spite of a little chart I carry in my camera bag with exposure times. Good job ! I sure enjoy your pictures.

Thank you, Susan. I was resting my elbow on the piling of the neighbor’s pier to hold the camera steady.
