August Lunar Eclipse 2008 #2

I had a fun time getting shots of the lunar eclipse as it happened. The night was clear and not too hot with a slight breeze to cool down the night a little. It was a grand sight to see how the Moon gradually came under the Earth's shadow and grew dim a little while, with its reddish glow as it was partially covered. Below is animation of the Moon's eclipse from the series of photographs taken:

I also got into the SLOOH telescope and had a piece of action there using their scope to grab some shots of the Moon and a closeup of the surface. All in all, a good night's worth of fun in being a little 'lunatic'! :-D
