lunar eclipse

This was an attempt at impromtu digiscoping. I set my telescope up in the street and then just held dad's camera to it! Some much better shots around on the web. I hadn't seen a lunar eclipse for years and it was fascinating to look through the scope and see the red light on the hidden bit, the curve of the earth gradually moving across. At full eclipse it looked really weird, kind of greenish at the pole and the rest a dull pinky red.
