eclipse


For those of you who had cloud cover tonight and didn't get to see it, the lunar eclipse was really beautiful. T1 had received a telescope from Santa, and that made it especially fun, in spite of the sub-zero temps on our deck.

This was taken with our Pentax SLR digital. Not bad for just using a long lens. I *think* the white dot in the lower left corner is Saturn. It appeared to the naked eye as a bright star in that area. If I'm wrong I'm sure one of you NASA wonks out there will let me know.

Our sky was full of thunder and ice pellets last night, so it's pretty great to see that you got a good view. And a good shot. Wow, your camera is awesome.
Who knew you all were such NASA afficianados?
