The lunar eclipse that will soon pass over much of the Earth is going to be the longest this century.

And it is notable not just for its length, but also its breadth: it will cover almost the entire world, meaning that people nearly everywhere will be able to spot it.

The event begins on 27 July. The maximum eclipse happens at 9.30pm UK time that evening and will last for about 50 minutes – but it will be partially visible for a long time either side of that moment.

North America is the only continent where the eclipse will not be visible at all. For everyone else, it should be at least a little visible – how much of it you will see depends where you are.

According to the map on the site, yes potentially visible from the UK, providing a clear ish night !!

a lens I've never owned - don't tempt me Chris

LOL, you know they are a corker and getting harder to find now

...they don't quite freeze the wing movement perfectly (at 1/640th) but it's fun trying

Nicely done John, I had good fun with the 100 - 300 yesterday.

I plan to have a go sometime with the Cactus triggers and a RF60x or 2 and see if by using 1/2 or 1/4 power fairly close in I can freeze the wings, I expect the BG will go dark which isn't a problem and probably at a shutter speed over and above 1/200th sec.

An effort from yesterday to add to the mix, although not really macro as the only lens I had on the camera was a Sigma 100 - 300 F4 so I was standing about 1.5m away from the Bee.

K3ii - 800 ISO - F8 - 1/1000 sec @ 220mm

Superb shots, the Ladybird with the aphids gets my vote

The B17 is a cracker.

It was a red K50

Our local news, BBC - Points West interviewed a lady at Fairford who had a Pentax camera around her neck on the 18:40 programme.

Well worth the effort, for me #1 and #2 edge the other 3 with #1 being my fav.
