Brian Lee's site index: My Homepage Teaching Research Personal Links	Personal page: pictures --------------------------------------------- Below: pretty pictures of the total lunar eclipse, November 8-9, 2003. These pictures were taken by holding my digital camera up to the eyepiece of an 8-inch refractor in downtown Toronto. The air was not very stable, and broken cloud was drifting across the field of view. ---------------------------------------------
	8:00 p.m., 6 minutes prior to commencement of total eclipse.
	8:04 p.m. Note that the white dot you may see (depending on your browser) in the pictures is a bad pixel on the CCD used to record the images.
	8:07 p.m.: During the total eclipse; increased eyepiece magnification.
	8:24 p.m.
	8:34 p.m.: 4 minutes past end of total eclipse.
	8:34 p.m.
	8:36 p.m. Notice how the bright limb outside the umbra now appears clockwise of the prominent crater Tycho with its extensive rays, whereas prior to the eclipse, the bright limb was counterclockwise of Tycho.
