eclipses

My newest life list! I realised I've seen a few eclipses now. I should begin listing them. Events in chronological order, top-down.

Technically, this is for lunar eclipses. If you're looking for solar eclipses, I will list them under occultations! Mr Nason would be proud...

 

931128 full lunar eclipse - viewed, photographed
Housesitting in High Park area, west Toronto. Photographed through the C8 telescope.

070303 full lunar eclipse - missed
Travelled to Ajax to watch the eclipse. We were clouded out!
 
070828 full lunar eclipse - viewed, photographed
Viewed from Mississauga, from Malcolm's house. I photographed! The best I've ever witnessed.
 
080220 full lunar eclipse - viewed
Viewed from the Ontario Science Centre during star party. Cold! Malcolm photographed it from his home. I was purportedly on the radio during a CBC report.
