Scene in Edmonds: Still mooning over Sunday

Posted: September 29, 2015 1756
It took about an hour for the moon to leave the Earth's umbra shadow once it started exiting it. So I decided to make my composite image a clock face. Start at the 25 minute position when the moon is just leaving the shadow at 8:25 pm and progress clockwise around to the 20 minute position when it is almost all the way out at 9:20 pm, with photos of the eclipse every 5 minutes around the edge. Inside the clock, there is a totality picture from 8:15 pm and a full moon from 9:30 pm. Sherman Page
“It took about an hour for the moon to leave the Earth’s umbra shadow once it started exiting it,” said Edmonds photographer Sherman Page in describing Sunday night’s Supermoon event. “So I decided to make my composite image a clock face. Start at the 25-minute position when the moon is just leaving the shadow at 8:25 p.m. and progress clockwise around to the 20 minute position when it is almost all the way out at 9:20 p.m., with photos of the eclipse every 5 minutes around the edge. Inside the clock, there is a totality picture from 8:15 p.m. and a full moon from 9:30 p.m.”

  3. OMG ~ exciting just to look at each stage of the moon! I missed the entire sight due to trees in my front yard, by the time it cleared the trees it was just a huge and beautiful full moon. What talent .. and what a thrill to have this experience.
    Thank you for sharing. I would think this could sell to a national newspaper … it’s awesome !
