Entering the shadow

eclipse22There is an Eclipse of the Moon on Monday evening, this when the moon enters the shadow of the Earth. The event starts at 10.58pm as the moon begins to enter the earths shadow. Just over 1 hour later at 12.07am the moon will be completely in the shadow and for the next 79 minutes, the event ends 2.33am

The moon will be a red/brown colour during the eclipse and just nearby will be the planet Mars also a reddish colour and close to the earth just now.

OK, camera buffs, lets see who can get the best photo
