I’d forgotten I had these, but July this year found me in France for the lunar eclipse. By complete coincidence the second summer holiday in a row where I’d been able to watch a lunar eclipse. Sadly I was ill-prepared for this one and had only a compact camera to take a few photos that in the main didn’t come out very well.
Regardless I managed to watch the eclipse from shortly after moonrise (I had to wait for it to clear some trees to the south) to the end. I need to plan better for next time I think.
