Lived most of my life in various places in Missouri. Kansas City, these days.
Dug-up another from the Zambia archives to mess around with b & w.
To squeeze one more out of the lunar eclipse (although it certainly pales in comparison to @freezelighter's stunner):
The pictures are in roughly 5 minute intervals from 5.45 to 6.20.

A Limpkin got it's snail, and an Ibis in the background.
According to NatGeo Page, a meteor hit the moon, and I caught it.

Since I broke my telephoto lens last week, I had to use my cheap Tamron 16-300 3.5, and this is what I caught.
Make sure to check your photos.

That’s a spectacular shot. Great job.
Wow great timing fella. I saw the video of it and it’s a blink and you’ll miss it type event, so you was very fortunate with your timing.
I was really excited too, when I checked my photos. Turned out to be a spot on my sensor.
First thing to do is check the time of your picture vs. the time of impact.
Also make sure your location of impact matches where the official location was reported.

Very cool.
I think not. I can't of course rule out that @malofx caught an impact, but it doesn't seem to be the impact that went through the news.
Here's the picture from the astronomer who reported it, rotated to match malofx's picture:
That impact was pretty much exactly on the other side.
I already checked my pictures. I happened to take three or four shots in short succession in the correct timeframe, but no luck. It's literally a matter of a tenth of a second.

I know very little about how this works, but I think I took a shot of the meteor itself, and not the impact, if that is true, then I caught it while it was moving, but I can be totally wrong.
One thing is for sure, I checked the photos before and after within seconds, and the little speck of light isn't there on neither.
Maybe people of old were right—the moon is really made of cheese and the meteor went right through!I think not. I can't of course rule out that @malofx caught an impact, but it doesn't seem to be the impact that went through the news.

You might enjoy this new Kevin Parry video. Parry is a talented stop motion animator from the Toronto area. In the course of the video, he has some interesting things to say about bringing inanimate objects to life.

That's unfortunately very unlikely. The rock is estimated to have weighed maybe a few kilograms, and to have had the size of a football. Something of this size is pretty much impossible to capture even with a large telescope at these distances.
Hard to say what you captured there. What I can rule out, though, would be a satellite. These move so fast that it would have left a noticeable trace instead of just a spot.

Just a little bit of colour on a gloomy and foggy day in the Lake District.
