2010 full lunar eclipse

[ABbuggin]

Hey guys,


Yesterday we (Eastern US) had a full lunar eclipse that occurred on the winter solstice. I was crazy enough to stay up to 4 AM to photograph it. I only managed 4 good photos since I had to fight the clouds all night. Sadly photobucket really degrades the photos; the originals do not look this bad! These were only taken with a 55mil lens, I really need a bigger one!

My favorite pic (full eclipse) cropped a bit.

Thanks for sharing. We wanted to watch the eclipse but were so fogged in we couldn't see off the end of our deck. Last night was perfect - go figure.

Darn...I forgot to watch it. At least your pictures make up for it in a way! Thanks for posting them!

Yup, we were going to head off to the beach and watch it but it would have been impossible with the clouds in the way. It has been raining NON-STOP literally for the past 3 days and nights. Thank you for the pictures!

I watched it at midnight (West coast of Canada). There were periodic clouds, but I got to see most of it. Pretty kewl.

I think the next one visible from North America isnt until 2019.
