Lunar Eclipse 2007

What a gorgeous sight! Went outside around 21:40 to set up my little telescope and already La Luna was changing colour. The sky was crystal clear with minimal turbulence. I kept the scope on the moon and when not looking at the eclipse I admired the Pleiades, Taurus and Orion. The view was good in my 10x50 bins as well.

I hope everyone else had as good a view and I can't wait to read about what other bloggers have to say about Lunar Eclipse 2007.

Hi Andrew,
The eclipse was beautiful and I was so thankful the skies were crystal clear. I'm glad you were able to view a bit of it.

I had snow. But one of the guys at the astronomy club got pictures through a sucker hole. Lucky SOB. Well, industrious too.

I picked up electric socks at the sporting goods store as my latest astronomical instrument.
