The Lunar Eclipse, January 9th, 2001
It was raining and very foggy on January 9th 2001 and I didn't
expect to get the chance to see and shot the Lunar Eclispe.
Luckily, I was wrong and shortly before totallity started the clouds dissappeared.
This night I shot two rolls of film, one roll at prime focus of the telescope,
the other roll with a piggybacked 500mm f/5.6 MAK lens.

Teleskope: Meade LX 200 at f/6.3
Reducer: Lumicon GEG (with reducer)
Camera: Nikon F3 HP
Film: Kodak Elitechrome 200
Exposure: 8 seconds
Conditions: fair (very humid)
Date: January 9th, 2001
