Lunar Eclipse

My first foray into night sky photography for a very long time.

 

This was the best I could do with my 300mm lens. A bit disappointing as I tried hard for a couple of hours to get software installed on a borrowed laptop to do a timelapse sequence. Everything that can go wrong did, camera battery died so I had to do a hot swap, I kicked my tripod leg a couple of times, the heavy long lens pointed skyward slid changing from 300mm to nearer 150mm (must tape it next time) etc. In the end I got cold and fed up, so went to bed.
