I tried to take some photos of the Lunar Eclipse on Saturday evening, but didn’t have a tripod which made things a little difficult. <\/p>\n

It was also one of those occasions where an old fashioned film camera would probably have been better. It was OK as the moon was beginning to be eclipsed, but once fully eclipsed there simply wasn’t enough light being given off. The trouble was caused by the fact that my digital camera has an LCD display on the back of it and also a small LCD within the viewfinder. This means that the image you look at when composing a shot is generated by computer rather then simply being what you can see through the lens. The computer isn’t sensitive enough to pick up the faint light given off by an eclipsed moon so I was unable to take any shots of it whilst eclipsed. So, it looks as though I shall have to wait for the next one now. Not to worry, itwas quite interesting to watch anyway.<\/p>\n
