One of the photos I took of the eclipse, it was taken at 3:56am (EST)

Pete - that does make it easier!
Joseph - that's a lot of beer!


Some things that this made me realize:

1. My tripod sucks
2. I need a remote shutter
3. it's cold in the winter
4. I want a better telephoto

Great shot Marc - this is the focal length I was speaking of above.

My excuse for no moon shots is.....it's -24C with the windchill! Too cold for me tonight! I tend to hibernate in the winter anyway. I wasn't designed for this kind of weather!

Jdeg, it's not much when you consider how long it's gotta last. I agree with Jack, winter time is time to hibernate, even if I do live in Atlanta.

haha yeh really.

I thought this was a pretty neat series of photos:

There's some real nice photos of the lunar eclipse here. I didn't get any, clouds and snowfall have a habit of getting in the way
