Observations of this
eclipse was limited from First Contact to Second Contact due to my
Observatory position. The Theodore Lunar
Observatory is
situated on the eastern side of Mount Tuggeranong and view of the
western horizon is limited, hence imaging of this eclipse was
restricted from 1C at 4h 47m am local time at an altitude of 21
degrees, to just before 2C at 5h 52m am at 9 degrees 20 miniutes
altitude. The local time of moon set is 6:47 am.
These images were taken with a Canon Ixus digital still camera at +1 exposure and with fluorescent white balance, attached to a Meade Super Plossl 20 mm eyepiece and Meade series 4000 filter ND96(0.9), fitted to a computer controlled Meade ETX-90 EC alt/az telescope.
