Total Lunar Eclipse: Hawaii, 27-28 Aug 2007

[back] . Taken from our front porch, resting the camera on the railing, using the swing-away view screen instead of the eyepiece for increased stability. Typical shots were about a second long. Cropped in Photoshop 5.0 LE to reduce the field of view. Camera is Canon PowerShot Pro 1, 7x optical zoom. Enjoy!
