Then the moon moves into the earth’s umbral shadow, which is much darker, but not black due to refraction of sunlight by the earth’s atmosphere, bending some sunlight into the shadow.

The moon will be between two large, bright open star clusters — the Hyades and the Pleiades — affording an excellent photo op- portunity. Your unaided eye will give you a fine view of the eclipse. Binoculars and other low-power telescopes will give the best view of the complex combinations of colour and shading in the shadow. If you use a larger telescope, use the lowest available power. In my experience, binoculars will give a much more esthetical- ly pleasing view of a lunar eclipse than a large instrument.
