My eclipse experience - Lunar Eclipse - 18 Sep 2024 - Imprinted by LightCaptured
I suppose you've heard or read last night there was a full lunar eclipse. (More info here: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2024-september-18)
My time zone, the full eclipse was happening at 5:44 AM.
17th was a nice day - clear skies, great visibility.
However, this below is my best photograph of the event.
Huge disappointment to me, to tell you the truth :)
What you see on this picture is the partial eclipse, just 5 minutes before the full eclipse was supposed to happen.
I've taken few test shots a couple and an hour prior the event.
I've set up an alarm on my phone because I was afraid I might fall asleep.
Well, I did and good the alarm did its thing and woke me.
Another photo of the partial eclipse.
Then, to my "luck", just a couple of minutes before the big kaboom... bloody clouds.
Clouds, that covered up the whole sky and those were the last pathetic attempts to capture something in the deep darkness of the dense night clouds...
I waited for about a half of an hour after the maximum, but no luck, it was so dark that I even couldn't get a slightest idea where the Moon was...
I slept for 3-4 hours after that and this just ads a bit more to my frustration :)
Well, I'm going to make me another cup of coffee now and just try to forget this all :)
I hope to live long enough to have the chance to photograph the next one.
Big Boss, please no clouds next time ;)
All photos I took with my Canon EOS M5 camera and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens, and this gives an equivalent focal length of 640 mm as M5 is a 1.6 crop factor sensor ;)

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Луну вчера видел, большая, жёлтая, но про затмение не слышал. Но облака сами неплохо "затмевали" ночное светило. :)
The "Harvest" moon on the next night? I didn't have any desire to grab my camera at all at it after that lousy night :)))))
