Lunar Eclipse 21/02/08 - Alan Tough

After 2 weeks of high pressure, the barometer suddenly dropped on Wednesday 20th February and the forecast for the eclipse on the 21st was not good. By some minor miracle the clouds cleared and the wind dropped for the start of the event. I saw about 10 minutes of totality before the sky completely clouded over. This image was taken at 3:04 a.m. Equipment used: Sky-Watcher ED80, HEQ5 mount, Canon EOS 300D at prime focus. Exposure details: 5 Seconds @ f/7.5, ISO-400. Alan Tough
