Lunar Eclipse

I just came inside as the still partially eclipsed Moon is setting in the western sky and the morning twilight is starting to turn the skies a deep blue. Just finished downloading all my pictures and here's one of them, taken just a few minutes before the total phase began. A sliver of the Moon is still in the Penumbra, lit by the sun just peaking over the edge of the Earth while most of the Moon is only lit by the light scattering through the Earth's atmosphere - imagine looking back from the Moon towards Earth - you'd see an orange ring around the Earth of sunlight scattered through the atmosphere and around that would be the Sun's Corona - what a sight that would be! This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/2 second at f/8, ISO 400.
