October 29, 2023 PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE

On the early morning of  October 29, 2021, there will be a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible in the Philippines as well as Asia. The Moon will enter the Earth's light shadow (penumbra) at around  2:02am (PST) when the moon is 54 degrees above the western horizon. Moon then enters into the Earth's dark shadow (Umbra) at around 03:35am PST with the Moon 33 degrees above western horizon.  Maximum eclipse will occur at around 4:14am PST with the Moon 23 degrees above the western horizon, Moon will finally exits the umbral shadow at 4:53am PST with the Moon less than 14 deg above the western horizon. The whole penumbral shadow will not be completely visible as Moonset will end the event locally at 5:53am PST.

Eclipse circumstances are as follows:

  Time (Philippine Standard Time) Altitude Azimuth
Moon Enters Penumbra 02:01:44 am 54 deg 273 deg W
Moon Enters Umbra 03:35:18 am 33 deg 277 deg W
Maximum Eclipse 12.2% 04:14:05 am 23 deg 279 deg  W
Moon Exits Umbra 04:52:42 am 14 deg 281 deg W
Moonset 05:52:49 am 00 deg 285 deg W
Moon Exits Penumbra 06:26:24 am ------- ---------

Since this eclipse is shallow, the Moon will be bright enough to capture even without a motorized tracking mount. Good luck to all and clear skies! Below is a simulated image of the Moon at maximum eclipse. Image by Eclipse 2.0
