Default Lunar Eclipse now!

Fantastic from Wolverhampton. . . best Lunar I've seen almost half now

I've been out in our nice dark vegetable garden taking photos of the eclipse
in a lovely clear sky here in NW Cumbria. No fancy telescopes or anything,
but the camera has 10x zoom so I'm getting the best photos I've ever managed
of a lunar eclipse. I'll upload some tomorrow, to add to the general
plethora of eclipse photos that will emerge, but can someone answer me this
please? I notice a couple of nice bright stars appearing in my photos, one
on each side of the moon - can anyone tell me what they are? They were
hardly visible with the naked eye, but on a long exposure the camera picked
them up.

Gosh: it was cold out there!
