I have taken this image on 04.03. very early in the morning trough telescope Orion Optics Europa 900mm of focal length and f/4.5.
I made several images but this is the most beauty for me.

Cheers!

Wow, my first ribbon!!!! I'm very very exciting, thanks for all nice comments, faves and votes! I really appreciate it!

As I said above, this image was taken trough telescope Orion Optics Europa f/4.5 and 900mm of focal length. I was outisde capturing the eclipse for 4 hours and made more than 80 shots.

Image was processed and converted to .jpg in RawShooter and then some touches in Photoshop CS2 - mostly levels and hue to get this red, in original moon was more orange.

Thanks again, I really haven't expected it!

Very nice capture of the moon. I like taking pics of it too but I am telescope-less.
