On Wednesday 15th of June @ night, I managed to take some shots of the lunar eclipse using my lil 3 inch (76mm) Catadioptric telescope and Apple iPhone 4.
The Moon was so bright in early stage, therefore I used the green Lunar filter.
Red Moon..Without the lunar filter

I MISSED IT X…{
My 2 year old nephew was awake and we all had to pretend we were sleeping so his mother could get him to sleep XD (don’t ask me why he was still awake at 12 hehehhehe).
Thank you so much for the pictures….atleast now I know what I missed…looked spectacular mash’Allah!!!
Hi Sister 🙂
I know.. it’s normal for young babies to be awake at midnight
I remember I faced the same situation long time ago… 🙂
and also when I was a baby..I used to disturb my parents at midnights.. I don’t remember that…but that’s what my mom told me 🙂
It’s ok if you missed that…at least you so the pictures.. It was very hot that day..
Most people went to masjid for eclipse prayer .. For me, I just prayed at home.
Nice JOB
Thanks Ali 🙂
As predicted CLOUDY skies!! Not even the faintest hint of Moon…even from Europa!! Not sure how the cloud cover got there given it’s lack of atmosphere but hey! Let’s not get technical 😉 It was cloudy!! Cool lunar photography 🙂
Hi Europa 🙂 ,your prediction is right..clouds clouds clouds …our worst enemy.. at least you saw the pictures 🙂
I think it’s better to do radio-astronomy in the cloudy days
wow…Mashaallah so cool…beautiful pictures!!!
Hi sister 🙂 , thanks. Many brilliant pictures to come…
