@Aline, maybe you can find your answer on www.spaceweather.com, or some site like that in French.
Have a nice day!

here's my contribution. It was over at two o'clock at night and I was glad the sky finally cleared up....at the end it started to get a bit foggy.

@ all.......nice series and I loved to do it, given also the thought that around the world several woophiers were busy at this subject and share it with the rest.........that's whats woophy about!!!

some tech details....
tripod
300 mm D lens at 5.6 / focal lenght in 35 mm 420 mm
exposure 1/125 with 800 asa, 1600 and up gives to much noise

I believe I've made about 50 shots in total with different settings, the best were as described above.

Wonderfull pics everyone, I just love these things.
Where I was obviously it was cloudy, but you could see the moon coming in and out from the clouds. My camera is not great though and I am not good enough to take good moon pics so my results are really poor.
What made me mad is that when I woke up the sky was wonderfull, I could not see one cloud in the hole sky.

Great!
ANd also thanks for giving your details. This way we can learn from each other. I used 1600 asa, and indeed it might have been better to stop at 800. Maybe I can use this advice next time (2008 ;-)

This is what I saw last night. The full moon was taken previously.

Yes, what a nice night looking at the moon, and sharing pictures and comments with you.
Thanks also to De Stilte for the information.

After several tests, my last attempt (above) was made with
a tripod
120 mm , 5.6 focal lenght
exposure 1 second with 200 Asa

I was extremely surprised to have to use a so short time of exposure and so low Asa.

Dear Aline, thanks for your comment. I must tell you that it was the first time I did something of the kind. So I was indeed experimenting exposure time and aperture. My camera is a Sony H5, and all shots were taken in full zoom, 72mm corresponding to 430mm focal length, ISO 100, and with tripod. I have converted to B&W, using the Gradient Map command in Photoshop. Now the data from left to right, and top to bottom:
1) 1/25s ; F3,7
2) 1/6s ; F8
3) 1/4s ; F8
4) 1,3s ; F8
The full moon was taken previously: 1/400 ; F3.5
finally I still do not know which is the best: to use a wider aperture and faster shutter speed, like in photo 1, or a small aperture like the other 3.
Best regards
In the meantime thanks also to de stilte and devish

what a luck we had at Texel, when the eclipse started the sky became cloudless till the moment that the moon was almost gone, so I was able to take photo's of the phenomenon.........

We missed that awesome view, here in Boston, due to clouds. But I was able to take a couple of photos of the full worm moon setting under our Boston Logan International Tower. When I first saw it, I was kicking myself in the butt, as I ran for my camera ... And wishing thjat I woke up earlier, to capture a better view! than what I was able to capture. Not great, but kind of interresting.

(Sorry, I don't know how to post those pics, but you can, if you're interrested ... go to Zazi.

It was cloudy here in Boston and we could not see the eclipse. But here is a link to a movie at NASA's website from a different point of view. This was taken from a satellite and shows the moon transiting the sun. From this angle the moon doesn't "cover" the sun the way it appears to do from earth. The color of the sun is due to being shown in ultraviolet light. If you have the bandwidth, use the large display to see the amazing surface of the sun!

A year later, and a second chance to catch an eclipse of the moon. This one was visible from central North America a few hours after sunset on February 20, 2008
