Anyone see the Lunar Eclipse?  Not the best of views from the UK but I wish I had a decent camera and telescope.

Here's a piccy from a bog standard Canon digi camera:-

I tried using my telescope, but got tired of constantly readjusting it.

So I grabbed a pair binocs and got a really good view of it. Could clearly see the maria and highlands. Watched it from about a little less than half lunar up to full lunar.

Was really neat watching it go from bright white to a dim blood red.
