Very nice image Alan.

An excellent idea using remote "deep sky" telescopes for a lunar eclipse.  Not just thinking outside the box, but outside the country!

Thanks Mike. It was always going to be a challenge observing the event from Elgin, although I did try. Here the Moon disappeared into cloud about halfway through the first penumbral phase.
