Post by: Manicminer on March 03, 2007, 21:49:07: I had a quick look about 15 mins ago. A bit too much fast moving clouds at the moment to have a decent pic.
I think it's 11.30 for total eclipse.

Unfortunatly camera isnt that good but its still a spectacular sight...makes you feel quite small really

Post by: ChrisW on March 03, 2007, 22:26:51: Good clear sky here, only trouble being city bound is the amount of light pollution :roll:
Getting difficult to get a good picture now as there's only a small crescent left.

Post by: jiffyman on March 04, 2007, 00:32:18: Could've been better, but not a big enough lens really. Had to zoom in on picture and crop it!

Also slightly too long exposure!! Nevermind! I was sat up on Dartmoor, even the rocks were shivering it was that cold!! :lol:

Post by: laser_jock99 on March 04, 2007, 11:14:30: I got some photos too (Fuji S2 Pro, 300mm Lens)

Partial phase
(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/laser_jock99/ASTRONOMICAL/lunar_eclipse2_030307.jpg)

Full eclipse
(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/laser_jock99/ASTRONOMICAL/lunar_eclipse030307.jpg)

Then my tripod fell over and put a big dent in my otherwise pristine Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens. [!Expletive Deleted!].

Post by: narked on March 04, 2007, 12:32:40: The one in the first link was taken with the same camera I've got (Canon 300D). How come my photos are never that good? ;)

Didn't manage to see it, stuck in work. Wouldn't have got any decent pics anyway, still working out how to use the thing properly. Waiting to see if I've got meself a a 50mm f1.8 lens off eBay at the mo.
