Total Lunar Eclipse from Selsey, UK
Had to move down to the beach for the start of this one. My two sons
Richard (12) and Douglas (10) came down, helped and froze in the gusty wind. http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse001.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse002.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse003.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse004.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse005.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse006.jpg http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/eclipse007.jpg Rather embarassingly, I took 255 photos this evening gulp. -- Pete Lawrence http://www.pbl33.co.uk Astronomy and digital imaging website (last update 28-03-04)

I do like those Pete! Very moody. The 006 one is excellent shot of the moon. The Canon does well on these. As for 200 odd, I know what you mean... Kev

Thanks for the pics, had a nice cloudy evening so my photo count was 0 - managed to see the moon for around 30 seconds during a brief gap in the clouds around 2220 hrs and it looked similar to your no. 7 pic. I suppose one advantage of using digital is that you can take 255 photos in a session without worrying about wasting film. Graeme ps. whats the weather like down that end of the country lately - I've family staying in Littlehampton.

I suppose one advantage of using digital is that you can take 255 photos in a session without worrying about wasting film. Hi Graeme, I find digital essential for this sort of thing - mainly because I was such a hopeless film photographer ;-) It's much easier to get the exposure right if you can snap away without, as you say, the worry of your wallet having a major breakdown. ps. whats the weather like down that end of the country lately - I've family staying in Littlehampton. Blimey, don't ask me to remember what the weather's been doing recently, I'm so tired at the moment all of the days are joining together. Weather in Selsey and Littlehampton are not dissimilar. It's not been that bad but yesterday it really chucked it down during the day. Looks like it's going to do the same today. Not that cold though at the moment. Late Saturday, Sunday and the very start of Bank Holiday Monday were very nice, then it all went down hill. I used to moan about the night skies and lack of clear opportunities. Looking at the awful conditions a lot of others had last night, I'll keep my mouth shut from now on! -- Pete Lawrence http://www.pbl33.co.uk Astronomy & digital astroimaging

Number 6 is very nice, well done (again). I was going to do a similar expedition to the sea front but heavy showers kept me indoors (I melt in the rain) but as the rain cleared the Moon cleared the roof tops and I had an excellent view of a partially eclipsed Moon through bins and my 127 Mak. - Mike Portsmouth, UK.
