Lunar Eclipse Viewed from North Borneo on 10th December 2011

This was my first attempt to capture the Eclipse of the moon. The Total Lunar Eclipse on December 10, 2011 will be visible in its entirety from where I was in Sabah, Malaysia.  These were pictures taken from the front yard of my home using a Nikon D7000 and Tokina AT-X 340 AF-II 100-300 F4 which translates to 160-450mm on a DX camera.  The sky was clear with patches of low altitude but fast moving clouds and steady westerly winds.
 
  A quarter eclipse - exposure taken from the bright part of the moon at 8.52pm.

Half eclipse - Exposure taken from the bright part of the moon at 9.24pm

Half Eclipse - Exposure taken from the darkened part of the moon at 9.21pm

Full Eclipse with the darkened moon with a reddish glow at 10.30pm.
