Okay guys... I sacrificed sleep to get this LOL, last time I slept through a lunar eclipse.
This time, I stayed up. I work in 3 hours but fuck it, it was worth it.
From the east coast we could only see a partial lunar eclipse 'blood moon', but here it is, I did my best.
Also, it was the fastest lunar eclipse in the past century.. 4 minutes is all it lasted.



Another treat, while I was waiting I got saturn with my new camera, I'm getting a hang of working it out... I'm upset the image came out in black and white, I'm going to find a way to fix it.
Regardless, still one of my best.



Goodnight fellas :)
