Taken tonight through binoculars. Sorry no colour - it didn't seem to come out.
I hope you enjoyed the sight.

The camera is a Canon EOS 300 D purchased Dec 04.
Because I like to take photos while sailing I spent a lot of money on the telephoto lens I use. It is a Canon zoom Lens EF 75-300mm with image stabilizer.
I am just an amateur photographer, so I did not go into great details measuring light etc. I simply set the camera to the auto Programme mode, set it up on a tripod and took a few pictures. With the right equipment anyone could have done it. So I cannot tell you what the exposure and other settings where except to say the exposure was for several seconds. Glad you like it.
But the way I think that dog of mine might have gone as far as the moon by now.

Wonderful colours
We watched the lunar eclipse through binoculars and saw wonderful colours
At the top edge -very bright whiteish
lower down a band of greeny blue and lower still darkish orange.
Soon after totality the colurs were rasonably bright but the colours dimmed rapidly as the moon went further into shadow.
I do have an optical problem though.
The red colours seemed to be associated with the larger scattering angle and thats the reverse of what I would expect.
NB the setting sun is red (blue scatters away more than red)
My physics though is 50 + years away now.
The eclipse itself was a great experience.

Yeah, I had a pair of bins like that once.

That's ok. Everyone's pics were better than mine. I just held my camera against my binos and fired away, hand-held. The binos are Canon stabilised; brilliant on the boat at sea but not waterproof though fine after 6 years.
The point about scattering for Roger is that the colours are scattered when passing through the Earth's atmosphere before illuminating the moon's dark surface and hence the red colour, ie without the blue lost on the way.

just looked at the exif details of the photo
8 sec @ f 5.6
was the battery flat as time shown as 1 jan 1980 4:25
