Lunar Eclipse


Last night was brilliant, Total Lunar Eclipse probobly the best for years. From about 7.30 to 9.30 the skies were clear and the Moon was full - a wonderfull sight! Took my Canon 350D out to set up the camera and take some images of the full moon, set up the Skywatcher ST80 telescope and Toucam Pro II webcam. Managed to get everything set up and ready for the eclipse.

A lovely night, cold but calm.

As soon as the eclipse started in came the clouds...would you believe it? Well...I managed to take images between the clouds and got some nice results.
When the Moon reached totality the skies cleared and revealed a wonderful sight of the Red Moon!

Certainly worth waiting for!
