The photographic sequence below shows 59 images taken 3 minutes apart, from 16:10 to 18:04 UT on 21 August 2017. From beginning to end, follow this sequence left to right and downward. I used a 200 mm f/2.8 lens and north is toward the top. The location was East of Sells, AZ, where the Moon’s maximum coverage was around 65%. In front of the lens, I placed a 12,000x neutral density filter to keep the camera from catching fire.

August in southern Arizona is usually cloudy, as the big surge in July precipitation peaks before introducing another 10 months of dryness. Thus we were fortunate the weather was completely clear for the entire event!
