November 2021 Partial Lunar Eclipse...

I was up early - 4am - to watch the partial lunar eclipse on Friday, 19th November. It was a clear and very cold night indeed, but the view (and historical importance) made it worthwhile. This was, after all, the longest partial lunar eclipse since 1440 and there won't be a longer one until 2669! I captured these photos with my Lumix FZ300 - and the earth's shadow is clearly visible to the left on the moon's surface. :)

The stars were fantastic. Many constellations were visible, including the belt of Orion here.
The moon was spectacular!
