Default Lunar Eclipse now!

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!

Ally,

At 0h (near mideclipse) the coords of the Moon were
10h 59min N 06 deg 47 min which put it very near
63 (Chi) and 59 (c) Leonis. I may be wrong but that
looks pretty good. They are both about 5 th magnitude
so that was a very good sighting.

Gosh: it was cold out there!
