Snapping Kangaroos

We had the chance to witness a total lunar eclipse on August 28 2007 and decided that we should not miss this chance to watch it since we will be able to get a great view of it here in Melbourne. So off we went to the event hosted by The Astronomical Society of Victoria on the roof of the Victoria Gardens shopping centre, in Richmond. The guys from the society had telescopes of different optical ranges and provided lots of knowledge about details of the event and about other stars and planets (eg. jupiter) We took a number of photos but these are the only few shots that turn out reasonably well.
