Stunning moon images taken in northern Ontario during full lunar eclipse
Many skywatchers in northern Ontario were delighted to capture and share beautiful lunar images of Sunday night's total eclipse.
The moon took on a red hue as the sun, earth and moon formed a straight line in the night sky. It is also known as a blood moon due to its colour.
Gabrielle Labelle-Davis shared this series of photos taken in Kirkland Lake between 9:04 p.m. and 11:24 p.m. May 15.

He said when he set up his cameras around 9:30 p.m. in Whitefish – west of Sudbury -- the sky was clear, but an hour later the clouds moved in and covered the moon.
The clouds cleared in time to give Fielding a full view of the total eclipse.
He said he took this photo with a 600 mm lens on a tripod with one-second exposure:
