Lunar Eclipse. July 27, 2018.

The longest Lunar eclipse of the century took place on July 27, 2018. It was difficult to observe because it was a dark eclipse. Combined with haze, clouds, and a relative bright nordic sky made it somewhat challenging to observe it. The following images were taken from the mountain Dalsnibba 1476 meter above the sea level located in Stranda, Norway.

First the sunset.
