Last night’s supermoon eclipse was an amazing sight that we won’t see until 2033.

From Auburn, the entire eclipse was visible except for the very early stage as it was below the horizon.

The eclipse was beautiful under perfectly clear skies providing a great show for everyone who was outside to view it. I shared the views with a few neighbors through the telescope, making it a fun evening for everyone.

The picture you see here was taken through a Panasonic GF-1 micro four-thirds camera and a Televue 76-mm refractor using a 20-mm eyepiece.

The reason why I took this picture with the eclipse at this stage is because the curvature of the Earth’s shadow practically makes a perfect line connecting the Apollo 15 landing site and the Apollo 16 landing site.
