I waited patiently, camera set up for night photos, Hugh’s tripod in use, but there was so much cloud. Before the eclipse there were some clear patches, but gradually more cloud covered this event.I began taking photos about 7.30 p.m. and the last one here was taken at 10.26 p.m. After that more cloud obscured most of the moon.
This was a partial eclipse, and was seen very clearly in the Northern Hemisphere. Some stunning photos on the internet, no doubt those photos taken with super telephoto lenses, and by professional photographers. I hope on Wednesday, with Hugh’s welding helmet in place, to get photos of the Transit of Venus.The best of the sale buys were these bulbs. I love Dutch Iris flowers, and hope I can find some more of the same stunning colour.
Quotation of the day, from Walter de la Mare
“Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon”

A 3:30am rise for rice delivery, aan all-day sub job at the pre-school, and an evening English class ... all in different parts of town ... squashed the moon viewing I fell into bed without even eating dinner! I was so tired I didn't even use train time for piecing.
I did see some great photos on the internet, but so much cloud down here. I am wanting a clear day tomorrow for Venus' Transit.But NZ has snow, rain, gale winds, etc. so inside may be the best place to be.Julie, your days are so full,I would not be able to keep up with all that activity, no wonder you left the piecing for another day.Cheers from Jean.
Great photos! What model camera have you got? I am starting to look for the one I want for a big birthday smile.
Love Leanne
