Various stages of the eclipse of the full Blood Moon ... seen from my garden on a perfect September night.

Here in Sussex, the eclipse was due to begin at 01:10 ... become total at 03:11 ... totality lasting until 04:24 ... with the eclipse finishing at 06:24. I stuck it out until about 03:45, but even after that, I kept getting up for a sneaky peek out the window!

My photos are not technically brilliant. I have neither the equipment nor the experience to achieve that. There will be better photos out there on Flickr!

What was brilliant was being there, enjoying that amazing celestial experience. My photos are there to remind me that I was there ... as if I could ever forget!

I wanted to capture the entire umbral stage in 5 minute intervals. Alas, my 18-200mm Nikkor wasn't really up to the task, particularly while the moon was under greatest eclipse.

I also converted the images into an animated GIF.

No salió tan bien, pero creo que se entiende lo que quería lograr.

Here are some images from the total eclipse of the moon, that occurred on August 28 2007.

All shot with a 70-200/2.8, usually in manual exposure, at varying ISO speeds. Beware all the moon guides out there, because you're shooting a completely "different" colored object during a total lunar eclipse

There was a tripod (wish it were better), there was mirror lockup, and there was a remote shutter release.

We got up early, to secure a good place on the beach before the sun rose
