Total Lunar Eclipse 21st February 2008
I sat outside, early hours of this morning waiting for the total lunar eclipse.
Huddled sitting on a rug, with blankets and warm clothing, hoping the clouds would move away.
Luckily they did long enough for me to capture these images.
I spent a lot of the time leaning against my chair nodding off....or using the binoculars to view the totality.
It's wonderful to see stars in such close proximity to a full moon, the blackness of space around that shining lunar disk is a sight not often seen..
I took full advantage of it.
