21:07 - Clouds near the horizon are giving an additional aspect |
21:08 - More clouds are making fun out of the moon |
21:11 - It seems that this eclipse will have some interference by local weather |
21:12 - The clouds are moving |
21:14 - The small part of the partially lit moon is now clearly visible |
21:15 - The sky is still too bright to show the dark part of the moon |
21:16 - The part outside the totality tone is getting smaller and smaller |
21:17 - The bright part is slowly disappearing |
21:18 - The last glipse of a bright light before the total phase of this eclipse |
21:22 - Early totality - the right upper part of the moon is clearly brighter than the left lower side |
21:25 - More of the round moon becomes visible as the sky is getting darker |
21:28 - Also the moon is getting darker. People are asking me where they can find the moon |
21:29 - Small clouds are intruding again |
21:30 - Cloud bands try to give our moom a "Jupiter-like" appearencec |
21:32 - Small clouds are still around |

21:43 - It's a joy to watch the progres towards the center of totality |
21:46 - Both, the sky and the moon are getting darker and darker |
21:50 - Low light conditions give an exposure time of 1-3 sec at 800 ISO |
21:54 - It's now dark enough that stars become clearly visible |
21:58 - From now on I keep the frame fixed to the stars so you may see the relative eastbound travel of the moon |
22:08 - The moon is now too dark for the autofocus of the camera - manual focus and higher ISOsettings are required |
22:10 - Nearing the center of the totality. The two sides of the moon have now nearly the same brightnes |
22:13 - The moon at the center of the cone of totality |
22:15 - Taking more pictures even while a spectactor tells me that the moon is too dark to take any pictures |
22:17 - Slowly the dark red moon travels eastbund relative to the stars |
21:19 - The sky is nearly dark, but also the moon is dark. I'm asked several times where the moon can be found |
