Lunar Eclipse ~ November 2021

Total Lunar Eclipse ~ November 19, 2021

The lunar eclipse of November 19, 2021 occurred in the early morning hours, starting in earnest around 3:00 a.m. and being substantially over by a little after 5:00 a.m., which was still almost two hours prior to sunrise.

My setup was a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 300mm lens on a fixed tripod, which I assumed would work well enough since my exposures were less than one second.  Note in the wide field image that the asteroid Ceres can be seen in the Hyades, about 8 days before its opposition.
