Next time...2010!!

Tonight there was a beautiful clear sky and a total lunar eclipse visible from Ottawa. And, of course, with clear skies in February comes cold temperatures (just -16C ... -23C with the windchill).

This was my first time playing with night sky photography but I managed to capture a couple of shots. I cropped them quite a bit otherwise they are pretty bland....but here they are.

Nikon D80, 70-300 mm, f4.5-5.6
ISO 400, 1.0 s @ f/5.6, 260 mm

Nikon D80, 70-300 mm, f4.5-5.6
4.0 s @ f/20.0, ISO 320, 300 mm

Now back to thawing out.
