The Last Moon Eclipse in 2011
In the 10th of December 2011 Earth orbit passes between the SUN and the MOON to cause the last eclipse in 2011.
The Moon appeared to my naked eyes at 5:12pm it was in the ‘Earth umbra’ so it was not clear and very hard to make a focus on it, I used my Nikon D90 with Sigma 50-500mm lens and the 2x converter mounted on a tripod.
Here is the first shot ..
