Eclipsed Moon and Hyades

[Screwdriverone]

Hi again,

some fun had tonight taking my first lunar eclipse shots.

No tracking, just a tripod, so I thought I might try a wider field.

Hyades on the left, eclipsed moon on the right.

Hope you like it.

Canon 1000D, 300mm lens, ISO 1600, 2 sec exposure @ F5.6

Cheers

Chris

Thanks Mozzie! would have been nice for some more stars, but I was firing off shots every thirty seconds...



Cheers Marc!



I tried the fifty but it was too far away for any details,

Thanks Ric,



lol, it was a flurry of activity during holes in the clouds, Mike, Jeanette and I were chatting back and forth during the eclipse.

Cheers Mish
