The Moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow in the early morning hours of 19 Nov 2021. Normally, that would be called a total lunar eclipse. Not quite this time. About 3% of the Moon will not enter the umbra at 3:03 am. But, it will still be a worthy sight. This diagram from Sky & Telescope shows the details for the central time zone in the US. More information can be found at this S&T url.

I set my planetarium software to illustrate the eclipse. It starts at midnight and proceeds to 6 am. The video lasts 25 sec.
Awesome!
I’ll be monitoring this with my tripod and camera because theoretically it’s visible here in Oz from sunset, very low in the East.
In practice I am expecting the very poor weather conditions to wipe it out completely, so I am looking forward to seeing the images from elsewhere!
It is forecast to be almost clear and -5˚C. Good chance I will need to get up at 3 am for a nature call. I’ll have to take a look in that case.
I will attempt that 3:03am CT excursion to capture the 97%. It will be at 38 deg above South here. So weather permitting all systems should be a go. Will use my big scope/same setup used for last week’s Crescent shots.
I wish you good luck and look forward to your images.
Thanks Jim. Pictures from the eclipse are now up. The weather was so bad during the day, I was worried about the overnight, but the forecast proved correct and the sky completely cleared around 1am.
I’m going to get up at 4 a.m. and hope I can see it.
Based on my weather info, you have a good chance of seeing it.
Forecast is a little iffy around here, but I think I’ll give it a go. I hope you have good luck with it.
Iffy here, too. Plus, it will be 24˚. I’m glad I have a window to use.
Did you see the eclipse?
I did twice. First at about 75% and later at 97% when it was max. All I had to do was look up out the bedroom window. Easy and warm.
I managed to get up around 4 a.m. to see this. It was kind of a miserable hour to wake up, and it was so bleeping cold outside! But it was still totally worth it. I was also startled to see the Pleiades looking so bright that night. I think it was a contrast thing, where the Moon being in shadow made the Pleiades seem brighter than usual.
Maybe the cold temps will help freeze that memory solidly into your brain. I must admit I didn’t venture out. I had a good window view. Good that you saw the Pleiades along with the eclipse.
I will not lie. I tried my very best to make the window view work for me. The angle just was not working.
btw…I like your artwork.
Aww, thanks! I appreciate that!
