On the evening of August 16th, exactly two weeks after the solar eclipse in my previous post, and after hardly any mention at all in the media, I accidentally discovered that a considerable portion of the Moon had gone missing. Thanks to colleague Kim for pointing that out.
Almost precisely 10pm, the moon was already completely within the half-shade of the Earth, and had started its descent into the core shadow.
Crop from 200mm tele-zoom supported on windowsill at work just before heading home. 1/80 second at ISO 400 due to lack of tripod.
