Partial moon eclipse

Here's a pic of the partial moon eclipse from last year (can't remember the date sorry!) It was taken just outside our old apartment on King Street in Newtown, sometime in the wee hours of the morning. I used a Sony Cybershot DSCS75. I honestly cannot remember the exposure settings, sorry! Here it is:

Was that the one in about April or May this year (2004)? I saw it on my way to work, took my 11x70's with me to view from work. I didn't own a telescope at that stage.

Nice shot, the traffic lights say Green is go!

lol Yeah, it was the one from this year! It's just been so long it seemed like it waslast year. It would have been in april somtime, I believe, as we moved out from that place in late may. i dragged my fiance out of bed that morning to protect me from the weirdo's (hehe, he wasn't too happy but thanked me for the experience nonetheless). i had the 10 inch back then but since i was living in a tiny city studio, there simply was no room to store it so all i had that morning was my camera, no binos.
I thought the traffic lights would add some sort of dramatic effect to the scene. It was pretty glarey being a main street. The reason I moved down to the street was because the moon starting sinking behind the building opposite our complex and so was being eclipsed not only by earth's shadow but by a darn building as well! I have a shot right here:
