Lunar Eclipse photos

I spent an hour stood outside the front of our house on Saturday Night photographing the lunar eclipse. I really enjoyed it but now find myself wishing I had a much higher power telescopic lense. This is something I could easily spend a fortune on, but in reality I'd hardly ever use. Anyway - fruits of my labour at http://www.flickr.com/photos/damphlett

I really should get a remote shutter release thingy. Using the 10 second delayed shoot was really labourious. Generally impressed with the results I got. Would have loved them to be sharper, but when I was packing up and noticed the sheen of moisture that had deposited on the protective 'filter' lense I was amazed I was getting any images at all! I guess to get the best results from this sort of photography you need to let the camera and lense cool down slowly to the ambient temperature, and maybe in that much cold litterally clean the lense reguarly.
