Usually when there is a pesky full moon the stars are hidden by its brilliance.
But tonight, the Earth conspired to hide the moon, and the stars were there for all to see!

Last week my friend Jerry asked what I was doing for the upcoming Lunar Eclipse. "Probably sleeping" I said. At that time the forecast called for rain.
And even when I went to bed Thursday night, the forecast was still calling for cloudy skies. The forecast was wrong.
So Patty and I woke up just before 4 am Friday morning. But I had screwed up the time. I had read 4:03 am as 4:30 am. And thus I was scrambling to get set up and get some pics as I had missed the point of maximum eclipse.
I did see it. I did not photograph it. The two shots above were taken around 4:15 am. The first an exposure of .25 sec, the second of 2 sec. Taken from my deck. We watched a bit more and then went back inside to sleep some more. I was tired when I woke up and I'm still tired now.
But I was worth it.
