Calm and balmy appalachia morning with the eclipsed moon dancing between clouds. A great morning to be out in the countryside.

Clouds, clouds, and then a total eclipse peeked through!

Total lunar eclipse of 28 August 2007, from Gisborne, New Zealand. Good colour. The turquoise was really obvious through the telescope. The weather wasn't totally co-operative, but there were enough gaps to get these shots.

The sight of a blood red moon mesmerised and captivated us as the shadow of our earth crept across it's face while the Milky Way suddenly appeared out of nowhere to add to the spectacle.

Moments before the onset of totality, the turquoise-colored fringe of Earth's shadow appeared.

The full moon passing through high cirrus clouds produced a colorful halo just before it entered the penumbral shadow. The clouds passed in time for us to enjoy the eclipse from the rooftop of the Buffalo Museum of Science. An early bite image is also included.

It was a fascinating sight to see. It's like a big yellow orange marble hovering in the heavens. It was interesting to see a range of warm to cool colors during the transition phase.

A collage of pics from the lunar eclipse. I know its a cliche collage, but its still a cool sight! Low cloud caused me to miss the beginning, but mother nature co-operated in the end with a clear view.

This morning's lunar eclipse taken from the parking lot of the ol' condo in Dexter,MI just as totality was setting in about 5:50am EDT using my old tried and true orange Celestron 8. Moon was only about 10 degrees off the western horizon.
