Title: Eclipse of Moon

Last night at 20:30 UT I grabbed a couple of quick images. Nikon D70, 200mm lens at F4.5, ISO 200, shutter speeds 1/160 and 1/10. Dunno why the quality is so bad - I didn't check them until this morning. They look a tad out of focus.

Ate croissants in the sun but now it's turned showery, so no sitting round the pool :-(

I got the occasional glimpse of the eclipse last night, but always through a small gap in the clouds, and never clear.
