"I'm shocked but very pleased!" said Ken Hacking after seeing his photograph of the lunar eclipse.
Ken, from Accrington, shot the picture in three stages.
The first part of the image is a pre-eclipse shot, the second is full eclipse and the third is 20 minutes after the full eclipse.
The images were taken with a Canon 30D with a Tamron 28-300mm lens at 300mm.
The camera was mounted on a tripod and Ken used a shutter release cable to eliminate movement.
The pre-lunar shot was taken at 1/400s at f6.3 ISO 100, the total eclipse was at three seconds f6.3 ISO 400 and the last shot was at 3.2 secconds f6.3 ISO 160.
Ken took the pictures from his back garden and said: "I thought I was going to miss the opportunity when the moon went behind a neighbour's tree, but luckily it re-emerged just in time for the total eclipse."
