The eclipse

The media were full of hyperbole about a "blood moon" in the sky. They were referring to a lunar eclipse, where the reddish light reflected from sunsets on the earth would be the only lighting of the part of the moon in the earth's shadow. Although we were perfectly placed to see the entire show, clouds prevented a view of all but the final stage. This was taken with the Pentax and 400mm Tokina lens. A few years ago I managed to catch a full lunar eclipse sequence, with my old Lumix FZ20: you can see that in the note.
