Lunar Eclipse

Last night was the much hyped lunar eclipse...I was really tempted to go to bed early but as there was only 45 minutes to go I decided to stay up a bit longer. Watching, waiting and the moon didn't seem to turn the coppery colour we were promised. Still the moon did look rather wonderful through our binoculars...like a big silvery helium balloon, quite defined in the night sky!

This was probably the best photo I got...and this is cropped!
