I had a big post I was working on to wrap up the Maui trip... And then I hear about this lunar eclipse... Well I could not pass something like that by. So I just spent 4 hours looking through my telescope at the lunar eclipse. It was supposed to pour rain tonight. It was CLEAR! I mean CRYSTAL clear. The recent heavy rain cleaned up the air and the clouds were no where in sight. Just as the moon was coming back into the sunlight the clouds came back. WOW! Our luck could not have been better!
This is right out of the camera except for some burning in of the stars behind the moon!!! The time was 12:05 PST which was about 10min prior to full eclipse.
Thanks to my friend Steggy, his sons Jake and Justin, and Lorrie for helping me set up the scope. I hope you enjoyed looking through the scope as much as I did.
I will get back to Maui tomorrow and then back to these shots later in the week.
I need some sleep... :-D
