I'm not usually an astrophotographer, but the little lunar eclipse of April 25 was too nice not to capture. I admit, I underestimated its charm. Only about 1.4% of the moon was eclipsed, the moon sliding just beneath the shadow of the earth as it waxed full. But the little nibble out of its north libm was quite a tasty morsel. Here are a few of my photos taken from Mitzpe Ramon. Which do you like best?

Ira, thanks for taking and posting these marvelous photos! Now I don't feel so bad about having missed the little eclipse.
