Total lunar eclipse tonight...

[Einion]

...and the sky was clear as a bell earlier.





So of course it\'s now completely clouded over

This is the last one for a while too....

But, it\'s SOOOOOO cold out, (-10 or so). I think I\'ll stay in.

Sky is as clear as can be here. A lovely view as it rises over the fields of our city\'s airport across the valley.

My kids and I are watching out of the front window of my oldest son\'s bedroom. So it\'s a lovely temperature too.lol

We even managed to scrounge up some binoculars! Even my two year old is excited.

First a beautiful day of skiing with the school kids around the 0c mark and now this. :flip:

I\'ve been braving the cold should be fully eclipsed in 5-10 minutes. Playing \"Dark Side of the Moon\" on iTunes

lol braved the cold long enough to have one ciggie, it was quite a lovely sight.

Not the greatest pics, but about the best I could do with my digital P&S and a tripod. 2.5 and 4 sec. exposures:

(apparently that\'s the planet Saturn in the second photo!)

I do love the eclipse! How low was the moon in the sky? Was she looking large?

I did manage to brave the elements and go watch for a bit.

The moon high up in the eastern sky for me, about the size of a 30mm base...It was as dark as could be too...

Pictures just don\'t do it justice. Such a cool phenomena!

Lucky bunch.
Cloudy, with Clingy Drizzle.
Again, saw Sod All!

I knew it was approximately full moon time lately, and so I was surprised to see a half moon when I left to go paint at Tom\'s house. By the time I got to Tom\'s house, there was just a sliver of moon left. I think I imagined the big guy from the Tick eating the moon and laughed for a bit, then promptly forgot all about it. I\'ve seen too many eclipses lately for them to seem very impressive anymore.

Nice photos though, my camera sucks balls for photographing anything that dark. I guess it\'s got everything to do with my lack of a full size tripod tho

Sure enough. This whole winter has been a deep freeze. It\'s supposed to warm up to 27 F by tommorow though!! WHOO HOO
