Lunar Eclipse in Toronto's Night Sky

The skies in Toronto were perfectly clear for viewing tonight's lunar eclipse, which just happened to coincide with the winter solstice. According to news sources, this hasn't happened for 372 years, and it will be another 84 years before it occurs again. I'm not an astronomy buff by any means, but I'm always interested in unusual and rare events. More than anything else, it was a chance to test my camera's zoom lens:
