Lunar Eclipse Total Phase - February 20, 2008

Photography Location: Earth > USA > Texas > DFW > Back Yard

The view of the moon was partially obscured by thin clouds with a few moments of good seeing.
During the total phase of the eclipse, the exposure times increase considerably and without
an equatorial mount and lunar rate drive system, there will be some slight blurring of the
image as the moon traverses the sky.
