Great range of photos, folks. I knew you'd do it. Definitely an event worth seeing.
Thank you and good night!

Some cracking images posted I really enjoyed watching it happen. A few light clouds partially cover it at times but I got some reasonable images. A few below and more on my website

A bit late now but for those of you that could only get white dots because of their camera lenses, you can use binoculars or telescopes as a long lense. With digital camera's LCD view finders these days it's even easier to get a reasonable shot. |

We said goodnight to our guests and stood in the cold
to watch the partial eclipse,very worthwhile.
The change from the bright final corona to that dead red
was mildly disturbing

Some excellent shots folks. I tried but could n't get the exposure right.  Thinks....I must have a search through the Forums for the thread on taking shots of the moon.

At Totality the exposure was 1 second @ f4 iso 800, anything more than 1 second and the moon orbit was visible.
Everything set manually, including colour balance and focus |
