Lunar Eclipse – 16th May 2022 by Jim Burchell & Honor Wheeler

On the 16th May 2022 the Moon passed through the Earth's shadow between 03:28 and 06:55 BST, creating a total lunar eclipse.

It was difficult to see from North Kent.  Firstly the Moon set partway through the eclipse and secondly the Moon was only 5° above the horizon when the eclipse started but this did not deter members Honor Wheeler and Jim Burchell; who got up early to photograph the event from Dartford. 

Unfortunately it was rather cloudy and misty that morning too.

The first image below was taken by Jim Burchell and shows the Moon in partial eclipse. Jim used a Nikon D5100 set at F6.0, 1/2 sec and iso 640 attached to an Altair Astro refractor to acquire the image.

The next set of images below were all taken by Honor Wheeler from the same location as Jim.

 

 

 

The last image before the Lunar Eclipse was obscured completely by cloud.

The Dick Chambers Observatory was open for observing the 'blood moon' on the evening/morning of the 20th-21st January and for a change the weather was good. Other members observered from their homes and below are a few images by members.

This Lunar Eclipse was also a super moon meaning the Moon was at perigee (closest to Earth) and this was the second total lunar eclipse of the year.

This image is of the penumbra of the Earth's shadow (the dark bar through the middle) during the eclipse before totality. It was achieved by subtracting an image of the moon before the eclipse and an image of it during the penumbral phase by Martin Crow.
