Spent a few hours freezing my arse off getting pictures of the Lunar eclipse last night.
Ended up taking about 140 pics as getting a good shot was very hit and miss.
My Fuji S700, while a good camera, had difficulty picking up an image of the moon in the viewfinder during full eclipse. A digital SLR would have been great.
Anyways, here are a few of the ones that turned out well.

Slickrun is a great free program from Bayden Systems that replaces the multitude of links in your Qucklaunch toolbar and saves you from navigating mutiple levels of Windows Start menu items.
It’s a free floating mini command bar. You can position it just beside the start button and any program can be launched by typing a few (in practice 2 – 3) keys, from the start of the command name you have given your shortcut.
For example I click the bar and type F then I and press enter and firefox opens.
It is easily trained, by dragging a shortcut onto the bar. I currently have about 40-50 programs in it and find that I never have to use a menu or shortcut to launch a program.
Try it, you’ll never go back!
