Wow...
After what had to be the most miserable night I've ever had at work tonight...
 the waning eclipse |
While I was walking out to my car and looking up at the sky to see if I could salvage some sanity after tonight's chaos, I noticed that the moon was waxing full - but there was something distinctly wrong with it...
I couldn't think of what it was... Then it dawned on me... A total lunar eclipse! 
The sky was somewhat cloudy, but I thought if I could rush home, I could capture it... ummm... |
I dunno...
I guess I couldn't be that lucky, huh?
the clouds rolled in...
It clouded back up.
Undaunted (and pro'ly a bit looney), I stayed out on the porch to wait for another opportunity. I got some. Frickin' seventeen degrees out, my hands got a bit numb, but I got some good shots of the waning eclipse:
waxing/waning - it was a moon that couldn't make up its mind...
I tried different apertures and shutter speeds, but the full moon can be a tough thing to focus in on. A lot of the shots were wasted, but I got quite a few good ones.
One more for the blog, an' I'm gonna crash...
Almost Over: Saros Cycle Eclipses only happen once every eighteen years (and eleven days)
Oh well...
Time for bed. After the night I had tonight, I'm beat...
I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the eclipse. I only wish I got to photograph it from the beginning.
