(Image: Shuan Sams)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Shaun Sams was up this morning to see the eclipse in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eadt.co.uk\/news\/26451351.best-places-see-solar-eclipse-suffolk\/?ref=ed_direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Shotley<\/a>, which is a popular area of the county to stargaze and watch the eclipse, thanks to there being very little to block the horizon.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The photo Mr Sams caught shows why it is called the blood moon, with a dark orange glow across the surface clearly visible.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>The eclipse behind the big wheel and the Port of Felixstowe.

(Image: Stephen Squirrell)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Proving that Felixstowe is a good spot to watch the eclipse, Stephen Squirrell was also in Felixstowe to capture the spectacle.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He got up with his wife to go for a sunrise walk and catch the last of the eclipse as it faded away.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  They photographed the moon peeking above a row of chimneys, with a gull also watching the blood moon. After that they caught the sun rising on the horizon while on the promenade.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>The blood moon eclipse.
