Total Eclipse Of The Moon Tonight
For those of you blessed with clear skies tonight, there's a total eclipse of the moon for your viewing pleasure.
More info here:

Looks like it will be cloudy here but hope it peeks through.
Enjoy,
Dick

(Y'all know the tune. *sigh*)
Isn't it rich?
Why do I stare
Up in the sky for a glimpse
Of what isn't there?
Send in the clouds
There have to be clouds
What's up with this?
The barometer's clear
I saw stars this morning but now
The ceiling's so near
Send in the clouds
There have to be clouds.....
Never mind......they're here.

It has started, and as many eclipses as I have missed due to bad weather, I cannot believe it, but it is clear here...

Tonight is turning into one of those nights I wish I had experimented with this camera more to shoot unusual circumstances and that I had taken the time to learn how to use the long lens (manual, not automatic autofocus) with my digital camera...

Tom, use a tripod or solid rest; use spot meter or center weighted on the moon; f8~11; and shoot away!
Show us some more!
