lunar eclipse from down under

[ponytale]

a few pics of the eclipsed moon from my back yard in Perth Australia, it took me a while to get the camera set up right for such low light it is a panasonic fz20 compact with 8 second max exposure these pics were 6 -8 second as i wanted to get stars in the background if possible , i ended up with the camera piggy backed on my dob , and used 10 second timer . Jupiter with webcam next !!

Very nice pics. The colour was great wasn't it?
