Default Lunar Eclipse

I am sure you are all well aware of todays Lunar Eclipse!?! We only got the very tail end of it as the moon rose this evening. Here is a pic I took, you can see the remains of Earths shadow top right. All orangey looking too.

Just going through the pics I took of the moon, I did point the camera at a very bright Jupiter and didn't really look at the results but was amazed to see four of it's moons at the same time.



From left to right, Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Jupiter and Europa.

It's not remarkable, a regular telescope would give much better views, but it always amazes me, that is 400 MILLION miles away. Difficult to get yer head around.
