Total Lunar Eclipse from Rwanda

The moon at 6:13 pm was pretty spectacular.

The moon at around 7pm. Clouds threatened, but fortunately never
blocked the view.
Just after 8:20 pm, the lunar eclipse began.

Just after midnight, around 12:05 am, the eclipse completed.

Even with my 2 megapixel camera, the spotting scope helps show the
moon's stunning dried lava fields and craters.

The full moon, nearly one hour after the end of the eclipse.
