Luna is Eclipsed

The moon was swallowed up by the earth's shadow last night, and even more eerily, turned a shade of orange at the peak of the spectacle. Your intrepid blogger was there all evening, braving the mild and clement conditions in the pursuit of astrophotography. That didn't work out, so here are some snaps I took.

7:30pm - the moon started the evening looking nomally moonish.

9:00 pm - the first chunk has been bitten

9:45pm - werewolves are by now ripping their shirts off

10.10pm - it's a little nippy, so shirts are back on again by now
