Another contribution to the partial eclipse :)
The first image is an overexposed image using a Canon EOS 600D at prime focus of a SkyWatcher 12" Dobsonian, to bring out the colour of the shadow.
The second image is a combination of a normally exposed image with digital elevation data from the Lunar Orbiter using the Lunar Terminator Visualisation Tool (LTVT) and depicts what the eclipse may have looked like from a different vantage point in space.
Thanks for looking,
Tom
