Loony eclipse.



Well done to Dan for reminding me about the lunar eclipse last night. I was thinking it was going to be about 1am but noticed it was already happening at 10pm. A bit of a race to get the telescope out, but I managed to get a few photos. Unfortunately the camera had a problem with the image being dark and they weren't as sharp as I would have liked. The moon at the height of the eclipse went a beautiful shade of orange and resembled Mars, which was cool. As the pics are all very much the same I have just posted the two, a sort of before and after thing.
