While not nearly as momentous as last year’s total solar eclipse, still great to see the total lunar eclipse here in Erie County, Pennsylvania early Friday morning.
Following shots taken from 1AM EDT to about 3AM EDT. Thankfully the weather was clear, and for being outside, not as chilly as expected for late winter here in the northeast.
A bit later, w/ a more pronounced eclipse effect:
The eclipse progresses to totality:
Following shots at or close to totality. Closest views @ 600mm cropped, then 600mm uncropped, + wide angle @ 100mm, all handheld generally w/ 1/20 sec – 1/60 sec exposures.
Sorry, no pictures after totality – after all that + two hours in the cold, time to get back to bed!
Next full lunar eclipse viewable in the US: 3 March 2026. See you next year!
Fantastic shots! This Team Member was too lazy to get up and look at this event. The photos tell it all! Thanks, Team Leader!
Thanks!
