The eclipse has been observed from the Netherlands. Images taken with a Olympus 4 MegaPixels digital camera installed behind a 55mm eyepiece and a 180mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope.

Images of the beginning (right), the middle (center) and the end (left) of the eclipse. The lunar discs have been registered with regard to the shadow of the Earth that can be imagined from the shape of the partial phases:
