Total Lunar Eclipse Saturday March 3rd 2007

Wonderful sight. Really hazed up. Could just about see polaris at about 11:30 but it cleared slightly.

Captivating, but my god it's freezing out there!

I think I could probably provide all the video too... I've taken 22 100second exposures so far wih the webcam!

so far 101 stills with my canon 350D.... but getting really hazy now

I've been out since 7 o'clock, I cant feel my knees anymore. :lol:
The thermometer is reading 4 degrees, although it feels a hell of a lot colder then that.

its the humidity... feels much colder than if it would actually dry frozen air with serious below 0 degrees

EAAS had a public viewing and about 40 people showed up over the course of the event. We had clear skies throughout though not as red as we had hoped. Some people said the top part of the moon went blueish(if thats a word) towards totality. We had 10 scopes plus binos, video cams, DSLR and I used an LPI but the laptop battery ran low and I had not read the software manual so I am a typical male. Great crack though.
