Colours of the moon

This is the result of some RAW data I had yet process from last year's Lunar eclipse.

The sequence here shows a couple of interesting aspects to a total lunar eclipse. The size and shape of the earth's shadow being the most obvious.

The other is the scattering from the earth atmosphere...showing up as a distinct blue edge to the early and late parts of totality.
