TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE PHOTOS AS TAKEN BY AKG FELLOW ALUTH FIAN FROM HIS HOMETOWN PAMULANG,INDONESIA
The much awaited TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE occurred on Wednesday.
However for much of India ( Central,Eastern,Western,North-Eastern) states the eclipse was hardly seen due to cloud cover and rains.
For me in Nagpur the weather troubled a lot.
The Telescope was deployed at 1020PM IST about 20 min later than expected due to low cloud ceiling. The Clouds were definitely troubling at an elevation of 609m.
For some time,cloud cover reduced and permitted for some hazy look as shown below!
THE ABOVE IMAGES WERE CAPTURED USING A CANON POWER SHOT SX 210 IS

RESOLUTION 1600 x 1200
AS THE CLOUD COVER FURTHER REDUCED, I TOOK OUT MY TELESCOPE
