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

14MP

RESOLUTION 1600 x 1200

AS THE CLOUD COVER FURTHER REDUCED, I TOOK OUT MY TELESCOPE

CELESTRON NEXT STAR 80 SLT

REFRACTOR TELESCOPE

APERTURE - 3.15"

FOCAL LENGTH - 35.5"

EYEPIECE - 30mm

ALL THE BELOW IMAGES WERE TAKEN USING A COMBINATION OF THE TELESCOPE AND THE CANNON CAMERA

ABOVE- MOON AND LOW LEVEL CLOUDS AT 10:30PM IST. IT WAS BEFORE THE PENUMBRAL ECLIPSE HAD BEGUN

ABOVE- IN THE P1( PENUMBRAL ECLIPSE 1) THE FULL MOON AS VIEWED WITHOUT CLOUD COVER

ABOVE- THE ONLY ECLIPSED IMAGE WHICH WAS AVAILABLE FROM NAGPUR AS CLOUDS AGAIN GATHERED AND THERE WERE RAINS TWICE.

YOU CAN SEE A LEFT-RIGHT INVERTED IMAGE DUE TO REFRACTED NATURE OF TELESCOPE
