Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Supposed to be a nice blood-red moon for you night owls. Best viewing between 1-3 AM EDT.

Sleeting here...if it wasn't I would be up. Be warned, this will turn into a religious debate...

The lunar eclipse or the sleet?

Who am I kidding? Both, right?

I'm sure I'll be getting up to take a leak around that time. I'll try to remember to take a little look see out the window.
Thanks for the heads up. (no pun intended)

Everyone knows it's not an eclipse but actually the spilled blood of Horus on the moon reminding all of the faithful and saved who the TRUE God of the Sky is.

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I have some unruly servers that are scheduled to be chastised around that time, so I'll wander outside with my pipe and laptop.

It's supposed to drop below freezing here tonight, a record cold snap.

You glad us texans get a good view today?

Man I hope I have my Nikon figured out.

Was taking shots of the Moon at "half shadow" with Mars in the frame and I swear to all that is holy a jet flew between the two leaving a perfect straight line trail. I was screwing around with my settings trying to figure out how to do night time shooting when I had the opportunity to get the jet itself into frame.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have some interesting shots and not a lot of nothing.
