Gallery of log for Lunar Eclipse Virtual Event

13-Jan-08
I happened to come across this virtual event cache while perusing the GCA site, and have just the photo - hence the late logging of our attendance!

We had a great view of the eclipse from our balcony here in the SE suburbs of Melbourne, though we missed seeing 1st and 2nd contact due to cloud cover. Luckily the cloud cleared, allowing us to see all the other phases of the eclipse (including mid-eclipse).

I took this photo with a Celestron C5 telescope with my 'normal' (not SLR) digital camera attached to the eyepiece using adapters. This telescope is equivalent to a 1250mm f10 telephoto lens.

Thanks Spindoc Bob for the virtual event - it's great to see the photos and to read about the experiences that other geocachers had while viewing this lunar eclipse.

Regards, 38degrees south.
