Partial Lunar Eclipse 26th June 2010

Here are the three pictures I got early this morning before cloud set in.

The last in the series was taken at 10:35 UTC, about an hour before greatest eclipse at 11:38 UTC – when more than 50% of the moon was in eclipse.  Location – Los Angeles.  I suspect the colour fringing in the last shot is a camera artifact, rather than an atmospheric refraction effect, as the frame is exposure enhanced (to counter a rapidly misting sky).   :

  1. “I suspect the colour fringing in the last shot is a camera artifact, rather than an atmospheric refraction effect, as the frame is exposure enhanced (to counter a rapidly misting sky).” Tim, I have searched for the color fringes but don’t find them. Any suggestions?
