Although I had doubts about pursuing this evenings partial eclipse due to the low altitude of the moon during the eclipse for my geographical location, the Greek gods were with me and provided for a stunning event, ideal weather conditions and relatively good seeing in spite of the low lunar altitude. The partial eclipse was such that it gave the ground-based observer the impression that the top of the moon had been chopped off. This was true even during the penumbral phase and which became more dominant and visible during the umbral stage. The digital mosaic above is centered on eclipse maximum as well as partial stages 30 minutes (before/after eclipse maximum and during the umbral stage) and 60 minutes (before/after eclipse maximum and during the penumbral stage). Clear skies!
