Lunar Eclipse Time Lapse Video


I video taped the February 2008 lunar eclipse from a window inside my house.
Not the best shot but you can see it fade and reappear.
I had to reposition the camera every 30 minutes to follow the moon moving through the sky.
I also used the Aiptek camera and it doesn’t have a very large SD card in it so I had to transfer the video to my computer when it ran out.
I increased the speed by 10000%. This was my first time lapsed video.
I hope you enjoy.
