Dark lunar eclipse Sat photos and more


Saturdays eclipse in Kansas was seen when the moon rose after totality was finished. Here is one picture of it. The moon was a white-yellow but the shadow was bathed in a very dark color until some other eclipses where it is reddish or orange. I took this long range shot over the prarie with my cannon rebel xt.

This one below is a videoclip from my camcorder.

As I was watching the eclipse and the shadow recede, I took a nice video of the eclipse. Here is one of the videoclips with a more close up view. You can see the slight color difference and the features on the moon. The edge of the shadow is interesting.
