Lunar Eclipse Photo + Bonus Moonbow Dessert

I have terrible equipment for capturing celestial phenomenon (a 17-40mm), but my not-so-inner geek always pulls me out into the yard. I’ve caught meteors, rainbows, and even the northern lights (rare for SC), and tonight I got two more — a lunar eclipse and a moonbow — only 90 minutes apart.

It was pretty cloudy in Mt. P, so I quickly snapped the moonbow shot at about 7:45 thinking that was that. I caught brief glimpses of the eclipse, and then at 9:15 there was a relatively clear patch. I took a few shots with my wide angle gear, but focusing was nearly impossible. Still, the moment was captured, and along with the moonbow record a wild 90 minutes up there.

  2. it was crazy lastnight…..once the eclipse was in full swing, you could see all the stars….even from downtown Portland(which is rare). The moon looked fake. It was also good to see random people just staring into the sky on the sidewalks of my neighborhood. Goodtimes.

    nice shots.
