Lunar Penumbral Eclipse Last Night

Taken hand held using Olympus EPL2 at 150mm and post processed with Crop and Auto contrast in Photoshop


I took some quick moon photos last night during a penumbral lunar eclipse. It's a bit of a disappointment since there seems to be no discernible difference in appearance. If viewed with a naked eye you would barely notice the difference with a normal full moon. Just a little partial dimming from the earth shadow. But from a camera it could show more. I combined two photos side by side to show the difference, one taken at 2014PST and another taken at 2214PST respectively.

Here's a wiki-link for Lunar Penumbral Eclipse.
