Here is my stargazing lob observation note when I viewed the partial lunar eclipse from MD. I used 10x50 binoculars and 90-mm refractor telescope. Later that evening after sunset I viewed Venus at 200x using #12 yellow filter and later, Ceres in Taurus. That was difficult to track down because the waning gibbous Moon close to 5-degrees angular separation from Ceres that night at 2030 EST/0130 UT but I was able to see the dwarf planet (asteroid) at 31x views.

[Observed 0230-0445 EST/0730-0945 UT. Full Moon 19-Nov-2021 0857 UT. Deep partial lunar eclipse this morning with the Moon in Taurus. This was a lovely early morning celestial event to enjoy using my telescope and 10x50 binoculars. At 31x, I could see Earth’s shadow moving across the Moon and by 0325 EST/0825 UT, Tycho crater covered by the shadow. Tinge of orange color across the Moon was visible. Some altocumulus clouds moved by after 0330 until almost 0400 EST and caused viewing problems. Skies cleared again
near 0400 EST/0900 UT. I used 32-mm plossl eyepiece with true FOV about 96 arcminutes at 31x views. Virtual Moon Atlas reports the Moon’s angular size 29.80 arcminutes. Some stars near the lunar limb were distinct and visible in the eyepiece. They were closer than 15 arcminutes, some 5 or 7 arcminutes or closer. HIP16737,
HIP16674, TYC12139-679-1, and HIP16811. HIP16811 Stellarium shows apparent magnitude 8.70. By 0439 EST/0939 UT, Tycho crater back in sunlight again as the Earth’s shadow receded from the Moon. While I viewed, temperature 5C and winds NW 14 knots gusting to 19 knots. I did not observe the entire partial eclipse, the Moon was getting lower in elevation ready to pass behind some trees nearby. However, this was a very enjoyable partial lunar eclipse to view using my 90-mm refractor telescope and 10x50 binoculars. The Moon in
Taurus during a deep, partial lunar eclipse with the Pleaides nearby in angular separation was an excellent sight.]
