Lunar Eclipse Feb ‘08 – Montage Images
Well after expecting a cloudy night, we were extremely lucky and the skies partially cleared for almost 2 hours. I still had to shoot through hazy cloud and that was when it was good conditions. A shower of rain caused coats to be thrown over the equipment but we saw right in to totality before the clouds thickened up too much. So a great night, all in all.
I’ve quickly produced this montage of how the eclipse progressed:

A more detailed post to follow, with larger totality image and some of the science stuff too, but for now, I need to go & get some sleep. zz..zz…zz…..zz…zzzzz
Well done, Anne Marie!
I got up at 3am to watch (with only my naked eye, in London) and got only a couple of very briefly glimpses through gaps in the cloud – was watching for about 10 minutes and saw the last bit of light at the bottom right, as in the last 2 of your shots in the montage. Then lost to the clouds.
Still, its the first lunar eclipse I’ve seen
So good to see this chart of how it looked in the earlier stages and to see the colour change (which I couldn’t really see)
Will pop back later to see your other photos.

That photo montage is incredible. I relaly must visit your part of the world and get some real instruction on how to use my telescope properly.
