Hello everybody

It's been one year long lasting silence from me, but the latest total eclipse has brought motivations enough to (re)start again!
Everything has changed into my life during this year, but not my passion for Astronomy!

I liked to give my personal "representation" to this phenomena making the eclipsed Moon rising over the magnificent Tuscany countryside where I'm now living in with great pleasure.
The quite low altitude of our satellite helped a lot with my purpose, but not its extremely low brightness when completely dipped into Earth shadow!
At any rate, after several attempts, I could get a reasonable balance of lights and colours.
I was kissed with cristal clear sky during the whole eclipse, except a few scattered clouds at moon rising not disturbing at all.

Have a pleasant and relaxing vision!
Thank you for your attention.

Well executed and you can clearly see the stages of the eclipse as the moon sets. Then you were lucky to catch the moon coming out of Earth's shadow just before moonset.

Lovely foreground too.

Thanks for sharing! & well done!!:thumbsup:

Thank you for your nice comments, guys!

Darrin - I'm in the other emisphere, the Moon was rising, not setting! ;)
