"the whole of the moon"
Tonight was an eclipse of the moon: and since we have a nearly new telescope, with a USB camera, this was a nice opportunity to try to learn to use the new equipment... an hour to get everything set up, and a while to try things out: it worked after a fashion. Unfortunately, the title of the post notwithstanding, I didn't get to see the whole of the moon (in the camera): the field of view was too restricted: but nonetheless, I'm reasonably pleased with the images below!

those are very cool photos, N. Our telescope for some reason has lost it's balance or some such thing and the moon was just too little for me to effectively take any photos. the eclipse was fun to watch.....it was a clear, clear night here.
You should've seen the moon just at dusk. It look like it was sitting right on top of the river....the colour all around it was amazing.....pale orange, pink and purple..
