Processing: 12x6s RAWs (sky), 1s (eclipse), Camera: Canon 550D; lenses: Tamron 18-200 mm, Canon 70-300 mm.
Observed on Koh Larn island (Pattaya, Thailand), where I travelled for this last total lunar eclipse for next two and half years. Despite light pollution from no far Pattaya beach we could have very spectacular view - the eclipsed Moon was in the center of Taurus constellation nearby Hyades and Pleiades. Right during totality occured very big outflow and the beach looked more empty than it really was. The sky wasn't fully clear - there were sometime cirrus clouds. The image shows lunar eclipse right 10 minutes before mid-totality.
