     Late last night we were treated to a total lunar eclipse, one where the 
moon does not enter into Earth's umbra but instead the penumbra, leaving the 
moon a reddish colour during totality, hence the name "Blood Moon".  Here's a 
series of photos taken over a period of almost an hour:

and a token photograph of Mars, which was nearby:

     All taken with the E-510 with the Samyang 100-500/5.6 lens.  Exposure time 
was 1 second, which was a bit slow but a little post processing gamma 
adjustment returned the colour to a more natural hue.  Longer exposure time 
made the photos appear to be even more OOF.

     I'm surprised that the lens did this well, and I had hoped that the 
Quantaray 500mm bazooka lens I bought late last week would have arrived so that 
I could try it out during this event.  It has less glass and is almost a 
refractor telescope with a camera mount.
