Lunar Eclipse

Well, central Texas was completely socked in with clouds last night. We saw fleeting glimpses of the event but nothing to write home about. I did manage to get the shot below through a brief clearing of the cloud activity, though. Taken with a Nikon D7000, 80mm refractor mounted on a Manfrotto camera tripod.

Hey better than nothing! I feel ya. I had plans to photograph the entire sequence and create this massive composite poster to print out and hang on my wall, but I was left with some fuzzy pics through haze. Not a bad show overall, but thin clouds ruined any chance of the full photo sequence.

We're always at the mercy of Mother Nature - what's with that? Thanks for touching base, Eric! Clear skies!
