January 2019 Lunar Eclipse Images
If you would like us to display some of your lunar eclipse pictures please contact us.
These are a selection of images taken by the group of the Lunar Eclipse on 21st January 2019 with a variety of different cameras & telescopes. Cloudy conditions made it a challenge, but observing separately from our gardens rather than as a group actually proved the better option as some members got breaks in the cloud which did not occur as much in Walton-on Thames.
A nice sequence showing the umbral shadow progressing across the lunar surface, taken by Peter
Kit used was a TS 80mm Photo Line Apo refractor on an AZGTi mount. Camera was a Canon 500D attached to a Baader 13mm Hyperion eyepiece

A lovely selection of the fully eclipsed Moon taken by Lynsey Wrigglesworth using a Nikon P900 camera
The orange colour is because the only light reaching the moon from the sun is filtered through the Earth's atmosphere which scatters the blue light and passes the red through, causing this lovely effect during totality.

A very nice shot of totality by Gavin Orpin taken through a lucky break in the cloud
Kit used was a 92mm AstroPhysics Stowawy, 21mm Ethos eyepiece on an AZGTi mount. Huawei P20 Pro smartphone used to capture the images.
Note the star visible in the same shot. This is because a much longer exposure is needed during totality, allowing stars to be captured which would normally not be seen images of the moon

Two nice ones here from Jude using a DSLR with a 75 to 300mm Lens at 300mm setting. Full eclipse at 5am then coming out of shadow at 7am
A few from me taken before the eclipse started and then as the umbral shadow started to eclipse the Moon.
Taken using an Intes Micro M715D on a Vixen GP-DX mount, using a 56mm Plossl eyepiece and a Samsung S9 handheld at the eyepiece
