Lunar eclipse






My Nikon compact (Coolpix 9100), an 18 times zoom (450 mm) then I threw in the 4x digital zoom as well to take it to 1530 mm lol. I am amazed it worked at all, I turned down the exposure as much as I could -2, set the ISO at its lowest setting, 160 and used auto focus, 2 second shutter delay with a tripod, pressed the button and hoped for the best :-). Works much better than my big DSLR. Pity the clouds came over shortly after the eclipse started :-(
