Lunar Eclipse - June 16, 2011, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Lunar Eclipse
2011 June 16th, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Didn't have any equipment that can move with the moon, so I only got a 15 minute shot of the total eclipse. Still, it looks quite good.
The weather was not perfect, thin clouds kept covering the moon.

Photos shot using a Nikon P500

@emmiansh Just barely, cloud covered the moon just after full eclipse.

aha this is pretty kool! you should try and post the full 15 minutes...it would be awesome if you did that. it happened in the U.S on the 15th at 2am for tennessee, and it was horrible weather. too many clouds! and it was thundering and hailing. :/

plus i wish i lived in austrailia...cuz then the lunar eclipse would have happened on my birthday (june 16th)

@roxaslover1693 That is the 15 minute shot, actually. Because the moon is moving so fast, it would only stay in frame for 15 minute. :P

And a happy birthday to you~:) (13:00 here, so it's 00:00 there, I think :D)

@jonbut77 Thanks. My friends in Taoyuan said it was too cloudy there to see the moon, slept through it probably was a good thing. ;P

[jonbut77]

Good job. At least you woke up to watch it! I slept through it--but thanks for posting this. --JB in Taoyuan
