Although the evening was very variable in St. Davids, patches of the sky were clear and showing stars while other areas were cloud-covered. Fortunately
the Moon spent most of the night in the clear western sky. I was able to take a large number of photographs of the Moon using a Canon 70D DSLR with a 600mm f/8
mirror lens all mounted on a photographic tripod. During the last stages of the eclipse when the Moon exited totality, the Moon entered area of light cloud which
reduced the effect of the changing light on the Moon's appearance. When the dawn chorus began and the street lamps had restarted, the Moon was very low in the west
and had descended into a mass of cloud cover preventing a shot of the Moon leaving the penumbral shadow, so I packed up and went to bed.
