Eclipse in progress

Lunar Eclipse 2008 20th February, 6.50 pm AZ time.

More later, if it stays clear. The imps in my camera were really confused about this!

Edit: it clouded over, so that by 7.30 I couldn't focus on what was left on the moon and by 8 there was no sign of it at all.

Nice shot!

Thanks! It's the best of the bunch, I think; I haven't had much practice on the moon, and the automatic focus and exposure settings were really struggling. Once it turned hazy it was completely hopeless.

That's nice! I didn't even bother trying because it was overcast from early on in the evening.

Thanks! (Very appropriate icon! Is that one of yours?)

It is indeed one of my moon photos. It came out blue by accident. :)
