Last night Andy reminded me that there was a lunar eclipse. It was cloudy the last time there was one so I wondered if it was worth setting the alarm. I decided to drink a big glass of water and take my chances. Unfortunately by 11pm I was awake. Luckily I was able to go back to sleep and nature called me again at 1:50am. I quickly opened the shades to see the moon and it was incredible! Wow! Fumbling in the dark I gathered my tripod and camera and set everything up. After a few pictures I noticed that I didn't have a disk in the camera! Oops! After more fumbling everything was set. My pictures weren't as "sharp" as I usually like to get them but the wind and the moon's darkness were new to me. Here's my best shot. You can certainly see why they call it a "blood moon". It took me several hours to settle down (and warm up) after I was done at 2:45am but it was definitely worth the sleepless night...
