here too. But at least the lunars come around once every few years so it’s likely we’ll see more than a few of them. I can’t remember seeing any lunar eclipse’ in my life though. I was really looking forward to this one.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing any video’s you guys make of the event. Thanks for any effort you put in on it.

It was a perfectly clear night over Kent… But the liklihood of my being even remotely conscious at that time in the morning was minimal. 🙂

Im so upset! I could not get my camera to focus, and get a clear picture. Since it was so dark, my shutter speed slowed down hella, and a three second exposure made all of the moon shots blurry as hell.

I managed to get some shots in a timelapse, and although its not that great, or clear, or long, i’ll share it anyway.

Sorry it sucks so much, but it was beyond my control…
