Lunar Eclipse in December 2010

When I have just started this blog, the very first post I wanted to be in it was going to be a post about the December 2010 Total Lunar Eclipse. But somehow the holidays have intevened :).
Anyway, it was quite a sight! A very special event - a total lunar eclipse falling on a winter solstice (and my birthday!). Last time an eclipse like this occured when Galileo was still alive! And, counting this one, there have been only two winter solstice total eclipses in the modern era so far!

Below is the best result out of all my pitiful attempts at lunar photography:
