Yes, this tour was a dramatic action.
At first we positioned ourself near the Bavarian Alps. Than a
sudden rainfront forced the break off. At the end we drove nearly
back and took position near Penzing in South Bavaria. When we saw
the red moon disk after a long waiting time, it
disappeared again after ten minutes because of a new
cloud bank coming fast closer. Now the observation stopped
again. But between the gaps
some funny moon eclipse unicates were orginated.
21.42: Attention: After a long waiting time the moon disk arosed
out of the thick cloud layer. At the beginning the very dark
moon was hard to
see. The reason was, that the moon was passing the Earth shadow
during this eclipse very centrical.
