Lunar Eclipse 2014

This night--October 8 in Japan--we saw a beautiful lunar eclipse.  It started in the East outside our back door about 6:30 pm or so  and slowly moved over the treetops. At 9:00 pm the earth was moving the other direction.


About 7:10 pm in the East. The earth nearly covers the moon.
The shadow appeared to move from bottom to top. Here it appeared to be an orange-ish color.
At about 8:45 pm the shadow was about half way passed the moon

Now the shadow appears to move left to right.
We could see the surface of the moon very clearly with powerful binoculars we have, but my camera is not as good.
