Full moon (19:20)
The full moon, several hours before the eclipse. Just after moon rise.
Here in Sussex, the eclipse was due to begin at 01:10 ... become total at 03:11 ... totality lasting until 04:24 ... with the eclipse finishing at 06:24. I stuck it out until about 03:45, but even after that, I kept getting up for a sneaky peek out the window!
Various stages of the eclipse of the full Blood Moon ... seen from my garden on a perfect September night.
My photos are not technically brilliant. I have neither the equipment nor the experience to achieve that. There will be better photos out there on Flickr!
What was brilliant was being there, enjoying that amazing celestial experience. My photos are there to remind me that I was there ... as if I could ever forget!
