Lunar Eclipse, September 1996


In this image still showing the last partial phase of the eclipse, the shadow has moved 3/4 of the way off the moon. Only a little bit remains until the end of the eclipse.

Image was captured on 35mm Ektachrome film with a camera attached to my 6" telescope. Exposure time was about 1/125 second.
