Partial Eclipse

There was quite a lot of high cloud around for today's partial eclipse but this added to the atmosphere in many ways. It did make consistent exposure quite a challenge. Not a perfect sequence of stages as sometimes the cloud was too dense but enjoyed the challenge. I used a 10-stop ND filter 1/8000th at F22.

Lunar Eclipse and Wolf Moon

I am sure there will be plenty of images of tonight's spectacular full moon. It coincided with a  penumbral lunar eclipse, which happens when the sun, moon and earth are perfectly aligned. The Earth's outer shadow fell on the moon and made it look a bit darker than normal. The January full moon is called a Wolf moon. 

This Morning's Total Eclipse of the Moon

One of the advantages of looking after Sadie and Meredith while Ellie and Matt are having a holiday is that there wasn't much chance that I would not be awake for the Total Eclipse. A clear night so a beautiful view of the colour changes leading up to totality.
