Early birds got to see the moon turn red in a total lunar eclipse early today.

The total eclipse occurred between 3.01 and 3.52am, with the partial eclipse beginning at 1.43am and finishing at 5.09am.

For those of you who missed it, here is a sequence of pictures taken at Chilson Hill in Oxfordshire.

According to the Royal Astronomical Society, this was the last chance to watch a total lunar eclipse from the UK until September 28, 2015.
