Moon, Jupiter and Venus
Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the western sky. Couldn’t catch them when they were closer to each other a couple of days ago. In the third photo, the moons of Jupiter can be seen if you zoom in.
Lunar eclipse composites
Here are attempts to put together the photos taken during the course of yesterday's total lunar eclipse - one as a composite image and other a timelapse video.
Total lunar eclipse - Nov 8, 2022
It is hard to get excited about lunar eclipses. They are not as dramatic as the solar ones. The eclipse started at around 3 am local time and the sky was supposed to be clear. Without that “cloudy sky” excuse, I decided to wake up to watch it from start to end. Once I was up and started taking photos every few minutes, it was fun to watch the slow and steady progress of earth’s shadow covering up the moon. I am glad I viewed it as the next lunar eclipse visible for us will be in 2025.
