It was so fun to take pictures of the moon last night, so I had to try again this evening....
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.

It's been in the news: "This is the first big partial eclipse to happen in the UK since 1999, and the next one isn't until August 2026, so this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity." - So all gear set up and waiting - hoping for a glimpse of that "once-in-a-generation" event...
BUT the weather didn't play by the rules where I live: Muddy skiess all morning... No sun to be seen, let alone the moon trying to cover it up...
Still, with all the gear in place, when the clouds went I decided to do a shot of the sun (background image - HDR'ed) and "post-processed" my moon in with Photoshop afterwards.
Ha: If you cannot rely on UK clear skies, create your own eclipse! ;-)

Helios-Sonnenuhr Ausschnitt 7,5 x 7,5 cm - 2,95 x 2,95 inch
Am Anfang den Tag und seinen Zeit zu messen hat der Mensch der sich selbst als Schattenwerfer benutzte. Im antiken Griechenland wurden Schattentafeln gefunden auf denen in Abhängigkeit von der eigenen Schattenlänge die Tageszeit angegeben wurde. Schattentafeln wurden im Römischen Reich und bis ins Mittelalter benutzt. Als Maßeinheit dient die Länge des eigenen Fußes.
Im 12. Jahrhundert tauchte in Europa der Polstab auf, womit die Sonnenuhr wie wir sie heute kennen geboren war. Mit dem Stab als Gnomon entstand ein Mittagsweiser, der die Schattentafeln ablöste.
Die heutigen Sonnenuhren zeigen mit Hilfe des Standes der Sonne am Himmel die Tageszeit an.
„Sonnenuhren sind seit der Antike in Gebrauch und waren noch am Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts meistens gemeint, wenn von Uhren gesprochen wurde. Bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts dienten sie noch in der Beschränkung auf die Anzeige der Mittagsstunde (sogenannte Mittagsweiser) zum Justieren der noch zu ungenauen mechanischen Uhren.[3] Heute stellen sie häufig nur noch Schmuck an Gebäuden, in Gärten und in Parks dar. Moderne Sonnenuhren in relativ aufwändiger Bauweise – zum Beispiel mit Bernhardtscher Walze oder die Helios-Sonnenuhr – sind in der Lage, sogar die „amtliche“ Zeit zu allen Jahreszeiten auf die Minute genau anzuzeigen, also zum Beispiel die MEZ oder auch die MESZ.“ Wikipedia

Helios sundial cut-out 7,5 x 7,5 cm - 2,95 x 2,95 inch
At the beginning to measure the day and its time man used himself as a shadow thrower. In ancient Greece shadow tablets were found on which the time of day was indicated depending on the own shadow length. Shadow panels were used in the Roman Empire and until the Middle Ages. The unit of measurement is the length of the own foot.
In the 12th century the pole staff appeared in Europe, with which the sundial as we know it today was born. With the staff as a gnomon, a noonday wise man was created, who replaced the shadow tablets.
Today's sundials indicate the time of day with the help of the position of the sun in the sky.
"Sundials have been in use since antiquity and were still mostly meant at the beginning of the 19th century when clocks were mentioned. Until the beginning of the 20th century, they were used only to indicate the midday hour (so-called "Mittagsweiser") in order to adjust mechanical clocks that were still too imprecise.[3] Today, they often only represent jewellery on buildings, in gardens and in parks. Modern sundials in a relatively elaborate design - for example with the Bernhardtscher roller or the Helios sundial - are even able to display the "official" time to the minute in all seasons, for example the CET or also the CEST.

This week is such an interesting one in that we celebrate Valentine's Day, Ash Wednesday and Chinese New Year.
This shot was taken around CNY time when most malls in China were decorated with lucky red lanterns and full of festive moods.
Cheers friends.
