I've just had a look at my pictures of the eclipse of the moon, which many of you will not have seen.
(Olympus SP-310 digital, tripod, night setting, time delay - should've used centrepoint exposure setting.)
The full moon was very bright (because it was reflecting straight back at us) and there was a long period of doubt before the "eating" by earth's shadow began for sure.
It was awe-inspiring to see so clearly the earth's shadow and the moon's rotundity. By the diffuse light through our atmosphere striking the moon, there was no sign of the craters, only the varying colour of the moon itself. And if you didn't know, it's red because the light has had all the blue sucked out of it to make the sky, though nobody has put it that way.
I didn't get any of mid-eclipse or coming out, because of cloud, and it was getting late here.
