  Apparently tonight, if we are blessed with a clear sky,we should be able to see the Moon turn 'red' in a full total eclipse. I am sure the budding Professor Coxs on the forum will enlighten us with further details.

  Here is a pic of the misty moon over the harbour last night. I timed taking the picture to catch the lighthouse flashing at the same time. Took several goes to get it right.
  

  

  
  
  No sign of an eclipse though.

  Keef its easy enough once you get the hang of it. See the top right of the posting box. It says..
  "add a photo to this post"
  you just click that and another box opens, click browse and you will see all your pictures before you..just select one to upload. It takes a couple of goes to get the hang of it.

  keith
  
  after taking the shots just plug the lead that came with the camera into a usb port on your computer.
  
  the screen will then guide you through what to do.
  
  as paul said it takes a few goes before you get it right, just take it one step at a time.
  
  wouldn't mind getting a shot like that one in post 3.
