that the event will happen on December 21 here in the Philippines as a partial lunar eclipse. The shadow of the Earth will be visible covering a small portion of the moon, it is also similar to this event that I covered last 2009 - Penumbral Lunar Eclipse ( February 9, 2009) ( Manila, Philippines)
I checked the moon last night and started to calibrate my camera and also prepare my gears
this is the photo from last night at 6:30pm
but I checked the skyline at 4pm today December 21 and saw a cloudy skies, Im hoping that the clouds will be gone before the start of the eclipse at around P5:16pm. The event will end at around P6:15pm. That's only an hour lunar eclipse.
Let's watch the skies today and see the shadow of our Earth in the face of the moon.
accdg. to John Nassr, a Baguio based astronomer and member of Phil. Astro Society - "The moon will be 50% eclipsed when it rises in the NE tomorrow evening, Dec 21."
