We observed Novembers Lunar Eclipse during our holiday from Florida. George our host during the visit made some barbecue for the welcome/eclipse party. Since the moon is so bright, the food was good and it was mainly a "social event" I did not whine about light pollution ;-)

The partially eclipsed moon. This images was taken with the hand-held Coolpix 4500 through the Orion Short Tube 80mm with the image erecting prism and the standard 25mm eyepiece.
