Lunar Eclipse

For the first time ever, I managed to see a lunar eclipse last night. Not through lack of trying - when I've remembered in the past, it was cloudy. Last night had perfectly clear skies and I drove Jon nuts by asking what settings do I need to use on the camera to capture the moment. Through trial & error, I think I just about got there.

The moon started off by being nibbled away. It then disappeared for a few minutes before it emerged bathed in an orangey-red light. Eventually the moon gradually reappeared as it's familiar self.

Here are two of the better photos I took ...
