Lunar Eclipse

© Peter Mitchell
I went out early this morning to see a lunar eclipse and try capturing some images. It was really hazy so it was not possible to get any clear shots. In this image I positioned the moon right over one of the glass pyramids of the Muttart Conservatory here in Edmonton. You can just make out the point of the pyramid but I had been wanting to get a little more to show. It is amazing how fast the moon moves when you position it against something close like this. I could get maybe two shots before having to reposition my tripod to keep the same perspective, so I didn't get quite what I wanted.
