NEW YEAR'S LUNAR ECLIPSE
I celebrated the New Year with observing the Partial Lunar Eclipse. The eclipse began at 10:55pm on the night of 31st. The earth's shadow falling on the Lunar Limb was visible only through a telescope but at 12:00am when the New Year began the slightly dark shadow was easily visible through naked eye. I tried to capture it through a digital camera. This was my first attempt of a-focal astrophotography. I used a dense grey filter to decrease intensity.

All the best for Jan 15th 2010 :)
The photos are beautiful. Your first attempt with a digital SLR? It's really humbling to know that Indians all over the country are so interested in astrophotography. But isn't it horribly expensive? And how does one make it to work the next day? God bless you!.
