Eclipse
Taiwan was along the Lunar Total Eclipse path, so some astronomical work ;-).
Totality from sunset, around 6PM, to 7:22PM. Weather was not too bad, but clouds were descending from the mountains, and whole thing was in danger, here in Hsinchu.
At the dusk, thick cloud covered eastern horizon. I already thought it is over, when, around 7PM, Moon showed. Simply, it was totally eclipsed, and in these cloudy conditions, nonvisible! When it bacame a bit uncovered, I saw it.
Here is how it went:
With better equipment it would look better, and not so graphic, but my "Digimaster" of 3MPixels is not too good for such exercises.
This was with 4-times zoom, maximum for this small camera. Not too bad, anyway, although no details on the Moon. Not possible to demand too much of cheap technics. NASA has better ;-)
One "grapefruit" from here-now is Ghost Month, and this fruit is speciality now.
It is big, really:
THAT big :-)
