The total lunar eclipse on Feb 21/2008 was captured from the grounds of the Temple of Poseidon, Sounion, Greece. It was a very majestic event which no photo could do justice. Regulus (α-Leo, mag 1.40) is visible immediately to the right of the eclipsed moon. Similarly, Saturn can be seen above and slightly to the left of the moon.
