Wooahhhhhhhhh 🤩

The galaxy visible in my eclipse shot is NGC 3423. This was possible to capture due to the reduced light out off by the eclipsed moon, as well as 4 hours of exposure on *just* the galaxy, with the moon far enough out of frame to not cause reflections on the inside of my scope.

Did you grab your tickets yet?! ✨💫 Super excited for this event with @ProfSaraSeager!

Here’s how the total lunar eclipse unfolds in #Calgary. 🌕

Total Eclipse Begins: 2:50 AM
Maximum Eclipse: 4:33 AM
Total Eclipse Ends: 5:01 AM

Here’s hoping for clear skies!

[Canadian Space Agency @csa_asc]

A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Canada early morning on March 3. 🌕

During totality, the Moon often has a red glow. No telescope needed, just step outside, look up, and hopefully enjoy clear skies.
