Tonight we had a lunar eclipse and for once in my life it wasn't in the middle of the night.
I gave the new camera (with zoom lens) and tripod a work out. I must have taken about 80 photos between catching the eclipse at different phases and mucking around with different camera settings. It was a good learning exercise with the camera. The only thing I couldn't get my head around was the little blue flare (see left & right pics). It seemed to be a reflection from the bright part of the moon bouncing around the long lens.
I'm now a bit dirty that I didn't have the SLR back in Oz last year when the comet went by.
