Bug Description

The partial lunar eclipse on April 3, year 33 A.D. is totally white. In the 0.9 version, it showed as partially red, as it should. I suspect that none of the partial lunar eclipses are showing the moon colored red, but the only one I checked was in 33 A.D. April 3,

Stellarium version? Platform? Graphics Card? Have you tried "no OpenGL 2" version (alternatively called "fallback mode")?
It works nicely on WinXP/NVidia 8200.
Please always attach a log file!

Same thing here. It works for the one on October 8, 2014 that starts at 9:14. However, it doesn't work for the lunar eclipse of April 3, 33 (17:37).
