Location: Lower West-side Saint John, NB, Canada
Date Time: November 8, 2022 0530-0630
Weather: Mostly clear, very windy 25mph gusting winds, making it very cold and difficult to image. Temps were 7.1C with humidity at 52%.
Equipment: Meade LX200 telescope with a 32mm eyepiece. Cellphone attached for imaging.
Attendance: Myself and many others locally from different locations around Saint John.
Objective: To view and image the total lunar eclipse that was supposed to start shortly after 5am and continue until after daylight. Totality was supposed to begin around 620am.
Report:
- Weather allowed for a major celestial event to be viewed from Saint John. A first in a long time.
- As reported the first bite out of the Moon happened shortly after 5am. Spectacular to witness! The very strong winds didn't let up the whole time. This made imaging exceedingly difficult.

- I was surprised in how fast the event took place. It only took a little over an hour from when the Moon started into Earth's shadow to when it was completely within it.
- No shooting stars or satellites were observed.
