Total eclipse of the moon

Last night the moon gave a free show. Contrary to expectations, the sky was nice and clear allowing a reasonable view of the eclipse of the moon (well, it was more of an un-eclipsing).
First shot at 23:04 local time:



And here's a bit of an experiment - I discovered that Lumix TZ7 can take time-lapse shots: here's one with a 60 second shutter opening -- see how the moon has moved !!
And here's the final shot at 23:20. By then I was convinced that the moon could manage the un-eclipsing without my help -- so I headed to bed.
