Lunar Eclipse (October 2004)

I viewed and photographed the lunar eclipse of October 2004 from Lake Hills in Bellevue, WA, where there were many people from the Eastside Astronomy Club as well.

All these images were taken through a Takahashi Sky 90 operating at f/8.9 (with the 1.6x Extender-Q), and a Canon Digital Rebel.
