Partial lunar eclipse 26th June

[Sentinel]

I remember the last total lunar eclipse...the Ice & Space servers could not cope with the traffic. I believe that evening still holds the record for most users on the site at once.

The C8+6.3f/r+QHY8 is sitting out in the back yard doing a frame every 5 minutes.

Sky is perfectly clear.

Last one for the night. I'll let the pros take over!!

Good night everyone.

Excellent, I look forward to seeing the results of that.

I think I got some good ones, downloading now. We had some scattered and floating clouds, then just at 2055 started to come over. Was it about 40% totality - didn't seem as much as 50%?

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Yes, just a hint of red.

Cheers Petra d.

Dammit... I thought that I could get away with binoculars, but ended up going the whole schmeer - G11, Tak Sky-90 and 40D- all set up in a blind panic. LOL!!!

Results in as soon as the run is done.

The figures in CdC suggest a bit more than half covered at 21:38.

"Date";"Max.";"Type";"Saros";"Gamma ";"Magnitude";"Magnitude";"Partial" ;"Totality"
" 2010 Jun 26";"11:38";" P ";"120";"-0.709";"1.603";" 0.542";" 82m";" - "

The time is UTC. I think the 0.542 is the coverage.
