Lunar Eclipse - First Light (Jan. 2019)


Here is a preliminary of the lunar eclipse last night.  It was a stunning show! This is just a few seconds with the Canon T3i through a Baader MPCC and my Synta-ONTC 203mm Newtonian at f/4.95.  Through the telescope, we could see stars all around the copper moon.
