Total lunar eclipse - 28.9.2015 at 05.22 - 28.9.2015 at 05.52 Valkeakoski Observation number 43035

Visibility IV / V

Veli-Pekka Käkönen, Tampereen Ursa

I described the "Super" lunar eclipse in Valkeakoski under a very cloudy sky at times. Just when the eclipse was approaching its most perfect stage, the sky opened and the lunar eclipse was very nice :) Here is a picture of the perfect stage at 05:47

The eclipse was very spectacular looking and this time the color of the moon was very dark. Maybe on the Danjon scale, class 2 or even 1.

EDIT: 29.09.2015 The image was translated to correspond to the visual view.

EDIT 2: Time for full blackout and duration of blackout visibility added.

Hieno kuva! Ylöjärvellä näkyi vain paksu pilvipeite :(

Todella upea ja laadukas kuva! Lempäälässä kävi myös onni, kun pilviverho väistyi hetkeksi aikaa, juuri täydellisen vaiheen alkaessa. Kerrankin näin. :)

Kiitos kommenteista. Uskomaton tuuri oli tosiaankin matkassa vaikka ensialkuun vaikuttikin epätoivoiselta puuhalta seisoskella pellonlaidassa putki "sojottamassa" kohti oletettua kohdetta. Nyt on sitten varmaan tämän vuoden lotot lottoiltu. ;)
