This lunar eclipse was a little harder to capture as the Moon entered totality prior to rising above the eastern horizon (the Sun having set only 15 minutes or so earlier in the west). The weather was very cool due to a stiff breeze blowing out of the north. We selected Rosland Elementary School here in La Pine for our viewing point. My goal was to capture the rising Moon next to Paulina Peak. The sky was still fairly bright, no stars, when I finally was able to locate it rising next to Paulina Peak, near La Pine, Oregon. SUCCESS !
Then as it rose and the night sky began to darken I captured it over the peak...
My wife helped me with the photography as we were using three cameras in our "expedition" and this is one she captured showing the wide field of view...
Finally, this image taken with my Bushnell telescope. That is a star to the right of the Moon.
Comments or questions are always welcomed (well, as least nice ones)!
