Really great eclipse montage posted on BBC website (appropriately taken by George Lovely)

Really crappy eclipse photograph posted on Ron's blog

Lunar eclipse: 3 March 2007

On Saturday evening I had to meet with a family to discuss a pending funeral. Then our friend David and I went out for a late dinner (we really felt like Europeans). The pub that we went to was far enough outside of Bath that the light pollution was at a minimum. Along with several other diners we spent some quality time in the car park watching the progress of the shadow moving across the moon. When it was at totality, the moon took on a copper red colour.

I remembered that I had my camera in the boot of the car, but didn't have a telephoto lens or a tripod. I thought you might like to compare my photographic efforts with those of a professional. Yes, I believe that green glow near the bottom centre of my photograph might be a UFO.
