More Images from the August Lunar Eclipse

Tony Travaglia of Otago, New Zealand, was holidaying in Western Australia during the Lunar eclipse of 17 August. He's back now, and has sent these lovely images of the eclipse.

Tony saw the eclipse from Walan WA and wrote that he felth that the the "orange moon" was not quite up to his usual standard as it was hand held resting upon the roof of a car with no tripod.

Heck, the colours are beautiful, tripod or no tripod. Great work Tony.

The images were taken with a 400mm lens Canon L series 5.6. Tony also took an image of the "glory" which I will post later. For now, enjoy these Lunar eclipse images (As always, click to enlarge).
