There was a Total Lunar Eclipse on the evening of Saturday March 3rd 2007. The Observatory was open to the Public as usual, with expert advice on hand. Observations of the eclipse were made using several of our instruments, including binoculars and telescopes. There was also a live video feed of the event on site, with images and notes being distributed to Members via the Internet. Plenty of visitors came up to the Observatory and the skies stayed clear for this spectacular event.

The above image was taken using an Astrovid Integrating video camera (on mimimum sensitivity and no integration) through a 500mm lens. It is of the Moon after totality, at 00:38 on Sunday March 4th 2007
