South Wales Argus Camera Club members managed to take some impressive pictures of the full moon and partial eclipse over Gwent at the weekend.

A partial lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, October 28, with the moon partially obscured by the Earth's own shadow.

In the UK it began at 8:35pm, reaching the maximum extent at 9:14pm and returning to normal by 9:52pm. 

It was a cloudy night but there were some moments of gaps in the cloud and it was a sharp night.

As well as a partial eclipse there was a full moon. The October full moon is called the hunter's moon.

The hunter's moon is the first full moon after the harvest moon and usually happens in October.

It was not a supermoon this year but many people noticed the sky was particularly bright and took the opportunity to get some great photographs.
