1:35 A.M.
It's just starting. This and the next two pictures have some glare from the moonlight; it gets better.
1:45 A.M.
2:15 A.M.
About halfway there...
2:35 A.M.
Little more than three-quarters... I changed my camera angle, in case you noticed the crescent changed position.
2:40 A.M.
Almost there; it looks like Mars.
2:45 A.M.
So close, another 20 minutes. To the left you can see two stars the camera picked up; I could see plenty.
2:50 A.M.
This and the picture after it were taken at the same time with two different shutter speeds.
3:00 A.M.
Another 15 or so minutes...
3:15 A.M.
Total eclipse.
3:17 A.M.
Total eclipse, and the last picture that had any light to develop for a bit.
3:40 A.M.
Just starting to come out of the eclipse, and probably the best shot I took all night.
4:00 A.M.
And so ends the last lunar eclipse to happen on the winter solstice for the next while!
I sent of the pictures in to the local newpaper at about 5:00 A.M.,
figuring they probably were already swamped with lots of pictures,
probably all better than mine.
Well, I guess not...
