Eclipsed Moon and Hyades

[Screwdriverone (Chris)]

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

Definitely not something you see every day is it.
It's been great all of us sharing this event together online.

[Screwdriverone (Chris)]

Yep, definitely been a blast, sooooo, many things to try Jeanette....

my brain is starting to hurt.

Cheers

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