Lunar eclipse (28 August)

[Skunk]

Damn. I was happy with the photos I got till I saw the ones in this thread. Can't even tell it's the moon in my photos.

I did however manage to get a fairly decent shot of Mt Manganui.

What's that in the sky?

Didn't it look awesome!

My sister and I were stressing out because just before it was a full eclipse it started to POUR down with rain!!

But we got a great view of it for ages. Was such a great night Was so red and the whole sky was clear. We saw heaps of shooting stars. Truely a magical night

What's that in the sky?

Probably an airplane, airport is just to the right of the shot. Moon was above my left shoulder.

Was it, was it really, or was it something else

The clouds cleared over the North Shore for a while and I got busy with my Nikon. Hope you like it, not sure what the brown thing is but I think it's Neil Armstrong's.

Hell, that thing again...It's been haunting me since that "other" moon thread.

Oh hell, yes... that thread. Now why did you have to go and remind me?

It certainly was a helluva lot of fun, huh?

The eclipse was a bit of a disappointment because it was kinda cloudy in Canterbury. Still, some great pics posted by other KBs - thanks!
