I've managed to work around the missing compact flash dealie-o (in an ugly way, but let's not talk about that, all right?), so here are few pictures of tonight's total lunar eclipse. I might post more tomorrow, after reviewing all of them (and figuring out how to get the rest of them onto this computer), but I wanted to post at least a few tonight, while the "magic" is still in the air. :)
Totality:
The Moon, with Saturn and Regulus:
I could tell the Moon was slipping out of Earth's shadow because the shutter speed on my camera increased dramatically:
With Saturn and Regulus again, and some clouds (fortunately not *too* many clouds):

I'm sorry the weather was so lame for you, though! Somehow, we managed to luck out here. *I knew sacrificing virgins to the weather gods was a good plan*
;)
Much like the photos of your hair progress! ;)
"Wow, awesome"
and my first response to the hair photos was
"Hmm, cute"
so there seemed some link in my head :P
I woke up at 3:30 am this morning and thought "What? Has someone left a light on?", but no, it was the brightest most silvery moonlight I had seen in a long time. Not sure if it was QUITE a full moon or not, but it was pretty big and very bright.
Very beautiful images. I especially like the top one and the bottom one with the clouds - it gives it an extra mystical look.
I was so frustrated w/ my cam that it almost got chucked in the floodwaters. *le sigh*
I love that you were able to pick up the reddish tones. Ours was a lot more shadowy here. Darn clouds :P
I missed it. Buildings were all in the way of me seeing the moon from anywhere. When it finally got to where I could see it, it was all white again.
