Here 'tis

Tonight's Lunar Eclipse

We drove up to Gumeracha and stood on the hospital grounds because it's a bit higher. Here is a collage of my moon pics in order :o) . The first one has a bit of tree branch in it but then we moved to higher ground. At 7.32pm when the total eclipse occurred, the local CFS siren went off just in case anyone missed it! The boys thought that was very cool.



The boys also lay on the ground and looked at stars.



We spent some time listening for animals (ie: We are outside a country hospital at night, please be quiet!) and imagining pictures in the moon (a pudding with icing, a smiley face with a hat). When the total eclipse happened, we hopped in the car and drove home in time to see it exactly at it's peak; unfortunately my camera couldn't even see it at that time.

Excellent! I saw it briefly just about at totality. You must tell me how you did the series of the moon.

I just took pics at different times and used my editing software to cut them out and stick them all on one photo. :o) If you zoom in you can see the square cut out around at least one.
