Homeboy Astronomy Blog - Homeboy Astronomy Blog – Down-to-Earth Advices for Amateur Astronomers

Last night we were provided a beautiful phenomenon, a total lunar eclipse, here in northern hemisphere. I was not able to see it here in Finland due to clouds, but many friends and HomeboyAstronomy readers have reported successful observations. As I was not able to see it, I have no images of the total lunar eclipse this year. Therefore I decided to provide links to observations around the world. Many people have written about the total lunar eclipse in their blogs and news sites.

Tim from TimsAstroBlog wrote about his observation. Tim has a very nice series of photos of the total lunar eclipse. Check Tim’s blog and read how he managed to observe and shoot pictures of the total lunar eclipse.

Aravind also reported successful observation of the total lunar eclipse. Aravind wrote how he managed to stay up and shoot few pictures of the lunar eclipse. Check Aravind’s blog to see his beautiful photos of the lunar eclipse.

Vern has done a very nice video of the Eclipse. Check out also his tips for skywatching on this week!

It was a great chance for me to observe a total lunar eclipse, but as said, I wasn’t able to see it. Next time I will make sure I am located in a place I will see the eclipse for sure. I was willing to see it this time, and I even managed to get my sons interested in waking up 3 am, but unfortunately I was not lucky enough.

Now I am waiting for clear skies. I am interested in observing nebulae, but it has been snowing and raining for days here in Finland.
