Lunar eclipse - closing down phase approx 19:05 hours - S.E. Australia

Maybe the best shot for the evening, even the wind died down to

steady the tripod. Clouds were off and on.

You got the shot, and why does the moon seem so elusive to shoot. It is there every month and yet the great shots like yours are far between, just wonderful.

Hi Craig, thanks for the encouraging comment. I expect a full lunar eclipse is always going to assist any astrophotographer to spice up and old theme - if this is indeed a 'special' photo then I guess my key is to shoot it regularly to increase one's chances of getting the light in the 'just so' catergory

Cheers- M.
