Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon - Nov. 30, 2020

April 13, 2021

Normal Full Moon Penumbral Eclipse

I took this photo of Comet Lovejoy on the night of January 17, 2015, using a Canon PowerShot A710 IS camera attached to an Orion 120mm f/5 refractor with a 25mm eyepiece. The exposure time was 5 seconds and the ISO was set to 200. This is pretty much the way it looked visually when observed through binoculars or a small telescope.
