It is probably the only time I wish I had an SLR with a long lens but how often do you want to photograph something 400,000km away?

That was the first shot I took so you can see the shadow creeping across and Mars upper left. The black stripe across the Moon is a power line

Re: Blood Moon Coming
My garden is surrounded by tall trees but l looked out last night for the blood moon.I saw a very bright yellow light and thought, that isn’t very spectacular!
Then l realised l was looking at a street light amongst the trees! I couldn’t stop laughing!
I then went out into the road and walked down the road a bit looking for the moon. There was no sign of it!!
