2008 Total Lunar Eclipse
Posted by: Dick_Hodgson in Dicks Observations, Nancy's Observations
The February total lunar eclipse was observed from the grounds of Hodgson Observatory by Nancy and Dick Hodgson. Fortunately early evening clouds cleared away prior to totality. Unfortunately the air temperature was minus 6 degrees F.with a light breeze from the east! Fighting the cold Nancy managed to secure several digital photographs. Dick scrutinized the eclipsed Moon with an 8x32mm monocular, and gave mid-eclipse value of ~3.5 to 3.7 on the Danjon Scale.
