| Summary: According
to folklore, October's full moon is called the "Blood Moon."
That's appropriate. On Oct. 27th and 28th, 2004, the full Moon turned
blood red when it passed through Earth's shadow. [full

Though the clouds were coming and going, I managed to get a few shots of the eclipse using an 80mm University Optics refractor (f/6.3) and a Canon 10D camera. 100 ISO, 3s exposure.

The spectrum of the moon was taken just before eclipse starts with a simple spectroscope made from a CD and a cereal box. (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~zhuxj/astro/html/spectrometer.html)
As moonlight is reflected sunlight, the spectrum is continuous with dark lines, i.e. the Fraunhofer lines (some of them are marked).
The eclipse photo is taken with 8'/f6 Dob, 18mm eyepiece adaptor, Nikon coolpix 995 camera.
