Total Lunar Eclipse 21st January 2019 And 'Wolf' Moon

Partial phase of the eclipse composite image. Still photograph taken with Canon 600D DSLR and Altair Astro Starwave 66mm. refracting telescope mounted on Star Adventurer equatorial mount.

 Composite of two images showing both the colour and illumination of the moon in eclipse and the nearby stars which could be seen because of the reduced reflected light from the moon. 
Very near time of maximum eclipse. Two images with different timed exposures blended together to show background stars as well as colour and illumination affects of the eclipse.

The air temperature was particularly low and as maximum totality approached cloud and high level atmospheric ice crystals created a halo around the eclipsed moon. Still photographs taken with Canon 600D DSLR and Altair Astro Starwave 66mm. refracting telescope mounted on Star Adventurer equatorial mount.

 "The whole team were up all night to witness and photograph the grandeur of a total lunar eclipse, sadly, the Jodrell Plank Observatory does not pay its staff overtime rates. They do get free and unlimited hot 'Marmite' drinks after midnight.Take a night off team and credit to all. Special thanks to Pip Stakkert who has spent all day working on the image files after a very long night". Kurt Thrust acting CEO and current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory
