Lunar eclipse

Unfortunately, my shots aren't nearly a good as Daryl's.  I don't think my settings were well-set but it was +10F with wind, and running in and out to adjust everything would have left the lens cloudy. Checking the actual images would have taken me so long that I would have missed more than I shot.

I hope the 2010 eclipse is in the summer.

   

   

The clouds were moving in, as well.  I didn't get to see the 2nd half of the eclipse.

   

   

I did come in to thaw out for a moment, and watch everyone else play with the baby.

   

   

This one includes some stars.

   

   

Going.

   

   

Going.

   

   

Almost completely gone.

   

   

And then the clouds covered everything.

Oh, well.  It was still a thrill.

I was hoping you would have some pictures! For the most part we got to sit in the house and watch the first part of the eclipse through a bedroom window. We did have to go outside once it got in the dark umbra of the earth as the position had moved so drastically. Just to let you know, the star (above the moon) was Regulus and the planet (lower left) was Saturn. Unfortunately, I didn't see the second half of the eclipse as I was too tired and went to bed. Ah well.

I figured the 'stars' were a combination of celestial objects, but I haven't kept up with star charts and planetary movements other than listening to Star Date on NPR, when I happen to catch it.
