Here are some pictures of today's (June 15, 2011) total lunar eclipse which was visible to observers in Europe, Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. This is one of the darkest and longest eclipses of this century lasting around 100 minutes and second only to the total lunar eclipse on July 16, 2000.
These pictures were taken from Toledo, Spain between 11 pm and 12 am by my husband, who is attending a conference there! Below is the link to the photos (lots of Moon photos though -- taken with Nikon D3100 300mm lens in manual mode). If possible, enlarge (zoom in) and view the photos...you can see the craters as well..its awesome! Just a caution that the time set in Camera was for Saskatoon timing, so the photos carry a different time.
