Total Lunar eclipse May 16, 2003
This was a difficult eclipse to observe. The Moon entered umbra at 4:02 local time at an altitude of 11° and was only 2° above the horizon at the start of the totality in broad daylight.
Nevertheless, MBK Team members located in all parts of Slovenia managed to observe and record the progress of the eclipse.
