Crikey, it was cold this morning, with -10 degC showing on the thermometer, as my shaking, frozen fingers, fiddled with the camera settings for this unique event, over 400 years since the last happening.

All told the results were not too bad, but as expected a long'ish exposure was needed, which tended to burn out the highlights. After using several shutter speeds, and taking a dozen or so pics, I decided to upload the image shown above.

Unless some new wonder drug appears, I do not think I will be around for the next winter solstice lunar eclipse!
