Yep, another one!

I guess everyone's getting pretty sick of looking at these but a few more won't hurt! These were taken with a Tamron 500mm mirror lens on a modded Canon 550d and UV/IR cut filter using a Nano Tracker. The long skinny one is to show how close M44 was to the eclipsed moon.

Thanks David and congratulations in viewing yet another series of memories of this magical night. I have witnessed many Total Lunar eclipses but this last one would have to be the best I have seen, the night from where I photographed it was clear and calm, not often the case when events like this occur.

Wonderful.
The more the better.
It is my hope that this sort of thread and indeed the object of the month approach encourages folk to post their efforts.
So to those who feel shy I would say dont...we all start somewhere and your posts can only serve to encourage others to have a go.
It is easy to look at some of the efforts in the deep sky section and think oned work is unworthy but sharing here is fun.
And remember I hold the worst effort that no one can slip below when I posted a screen shot of the horse head nebula because I could not work out how to down size an image.
