More Eclipse Stuff

Spectacular Lunar Eclipse!

What a night! First clear night in Michigan for a while. I had been anticipating the eclipse for a while, but just figured I wouldn't get to see it due to the endless cloud this time of year. I almost forgot about the eclipse completely. Put my daughter to bed around 7:30, made some dinner, took my usual glance out the window to see what the weather was doing. To my surprise, I saw a perfectly clear sky. Then I saw the full moon and jumped into action remembering that this was the night. Got the Sky 90, mount and camera hooked up just in time to take my first image just as the partial eclipse began. Images were taken at multiple exposure settings, throught Tak Sky 90 and Digital Rebel XTI. Partial phases are stacks of 20, total phases are stacks of 30. I'm working on an animation and will hopefully post it within the next few days. Thanks for looking!
