It's rare to see, I've always been into astronomy as a teen, so this is fun to watch as I have a smoke outside.
So I set up my camera on a tripod. It's fcuking cold outside, it's a new camera, and I didn't want to be bothered with the manual picture options, so here goes. Camera has 7x optical zoom.
Taken just after 9pm;
I took this one with added digital zoom, but quality fades big time;

All I can say is just WOW. It makes you wish you could just reach up and hold it in your hand.

| definitely cool to watch; can someone explain to the village idiot here (me) where the redish tinge comes from? My guess is that it is light filtering around earth, through the atmosphere that gives the moon that eerie red tinge...but in truth, i know nothing! |

The blue light is reflected by the daylight side of the earth, leaving the lower red spectrum.
/BTW Justin, Ni-Cd was the one who pushed you in the water while fishing in Keswick. |
