 21:05 - Well before totality |
 21:06 - The sky is still having a bright blue color |
 21:07 - Clouds near the horizon are giving an additional aspect |
 21:08 - More clouds are making fun out of the moon |
 21:11 - It seems that this eclipse will have some interference by local weather |
 21:12 - The clouds are moving |
 21:14 - The small part of the partially lit moon is now clearly visible |
 21:15 - The sky is still too bright to show the dark part of the moon |
 21:16 - The part outside the totality tone is getting smaller and smaller |
 21:17 - The bright part is slowly disappearing |
 21:18 - The last glipse of a bright light before the total phase of this eclipse |
 21:22 - Early totality - the right upper part of the moon is clearly brighter than the left lower side |
 21:25 - More of the round moon becomes visible as the sky is getting darker |
 21:28 - Also the moon is getting darker. People are asking me where they can find the moon |
 21:29 - Small clouds are intruding again |
 21:30 - Cloud bands try to give our moom a "Jupiter-like" appearencec |
 21:32 - Small clouds are still around |
 21:32 - Another variation of a cloud band at the moon |
 21:36 - Some similarity to Jupiter |
 21:37 - The cloud bands are drifting away |
 21:40 - Now without clouds - but still waiting for a darker sky |
 21:43 - It's a joy to watch the progres towards the center of totality |
 21:46 - Both, the sky and the moon are getting darker and darker |
 21:50 - Low light conditions give an exposure time of 1-3 sec at 800 ISO |
 21:54 - It's now dark enough that stars become clearly visible |
 21:58 - From now on I keep the frame fixed to the stars so you may see the relative eastbound travel of the moon |
 22:08 - The moon is now too dark for the autofocus of the camera - manual focus and higher ISOsettings are required |
 22:10 - Nearing the center of the totality. The two sides of the moon have now nearly the same brightnes |
 22:13 - The moon at the center of the cone of totality |
 22:15 - Taking more pictures even while a spectactor tells me that the moon is too dark to take any pictures |
 22:17 - Slowly the dark red moon travels eastbund relative to the stars |
 21:19 - The sky is nearly dark, but also the moon is dark. I'm asked several times where the moon can be found |
 22:21 - The right and the left side of the moon have about the sime brightnes |
 22:23 - My last shot, 10 minutes after the middle of the eclipse |
