Last night (21 December 2010) Peta and I went to UWS, Penrith, NSW to shoot the lunar eclipse. I was using my Sigma 150-500mm lens and an ISO of 800 as the moon was rising rapidly. I only got 2 shoots of the early part of the eclipse as there was low lying cloud. So the times for the 6 shots that make up this collage are: 8:26pm, 8:42, 8:48, 8:54, 9:08 and 9:20.
