Lunar Lunatic






My co-workers called me crazy, but after working 3pm-11pm I slept for a couple of hours then woke up to shoot the moon! Grabbed my tripod and went up on the roof to take my first try at lunar eclipse photography. Even though I didn't get back to bed until 5:30 am, it was worth it to capture a rare event. The fact that we didn't have stratus at night was rare enough...throw in the eclipse and it made for a special evening!

Awesome, Brookester! They blow up more than full screen on my computer and the pix are spectacular. Good on yer, as the Aussies would say.

Lucky!!!! I stayed up to watch it, but at 12:30am (the eclipse started at about 1:30am up here) the clouds rolled in!!! But thanks to you, I got to see it! What is the greenish object in the upper left corner, just a reflection of the moon?

Great pics brooke!
