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.

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.
