Total Lunar Eclipse 2007

Posted on Sunday 4th March 2007 @ 11:10am GMT

If anyone were looking outside of their window last night, they would have seen a fantastic dusty red moon on a perfectly clear night. As the moon slowly hid behind the earth, I tried to take some photos using some binoculars... this involved quite the complex task of lining up and focusing both binoculars as well as my digital camera. Then once I'd kind of got it how I wanted the shot to look like, I had to work out how to press the shutter button!

Well, eventually after a dozen or so shots and a near miss with my camera and the patio, I did manage to get one good shot of the moon! This one can be found to the left.

Meanwhile, the BBC have some nice photos that the public have taken on their website. Enjoy :)
