This shot of the eclipse near totality is an extreme crop, so you're viewing it now at about the best it's going to get. I used a 210mm telephoto lens (all I had), but I'd prefer to have been 300mm or better. I've got until 2010 to try this again, so maybe by then I'll have something.

We just had a lunar eclipse over Denmark, unfortunately the moon decided to play hide and seek behind som clouds, but eventually at 11.01 (1 minute before the total eclipse expired) it showed, pictures are named as timestamp.

Handheld - 90mm f/2 with various ISO and shutter speed (1/15 to 1/125) Processed in Lightroom to taste

Seven kept bumping the tripod as the fog rolled in, so didn't get too many shots.
