Yesterday we had a lunar eclipse, I was out in the hope of getting some spectacular image, but the moon was somewhat hidden until it was high up.
This was the best shot, postet here instead of in "Show us your best moon (and solar system) images" as it is not very special.
Z8 @175 sec 100-400 @400mm and f5.6 ISO 5000

It was similar here: when the moon became visible above the horizon, it had already almost moved out of the umbra. However, my 400 mm lens with a 2x teleconverter would also have reached its limits when the moon was completely eclipsed. I didn't think a lunar eclipse would be so dark...

An hour later, it still looks quite interesting.

Nice images anyway, Bent and Jürgen.
Here, conditions were similar, with persistent cloud cover. I posted my photo in the “Show us your best images of the moon (and the solar system)” section, even though it's far from being the best photo of the moon

Bent, Jürgen Bruno, all nice pictures! I rushed to give the bloody moon a try ...  but forgot to use the stabilizaton, so all pictures blurred, this is the best of the blurred ones (look at scattered Saturn on the left).

I took inspiration from Michael Erlewine and promted a picture about modern country life.

I don't understand you.

bed bugs suck blood from humans while they sleep

There are two kinds in Germany: Bettwanzen (Cimex lectularius), specialized on humans, but sucks blood from any other warm blooded animal and Argas reflexus, not specialized on humans but on pigeons, dies if it eats human blood

[Ian Watson]

Bed bugs are very smelly, it's better not to touch them,

It looks like a stink bug. The ones around here are far less colourful.

Okay, you mean the other bed bugs, which are truly dangerous and annoying.
