Description

Had a chance to take some images of the partial lunar eclipse at around 10:30pm central, from just south of Milwaukee. I enjoyed seeing the contrast across the surface of the moon, under pleasant but a bit dewey imaging conditions. This was taken with my Vixen Quad AZ103s APO, with reducer, and a ZWO 2600mc, taking the best 10% of images and combining two slight variations in gain to account for the contrast, into one final image.
