Lunar Eclipse

In case you didn't know there was a total eclipse of the moon tonight. We didn't get to see all of it here. By the time it came up in Texas the eclipse was half over. The picture above was taken with my digital camera on full optical zoom (only 3X). The digital zoom pictures were just orange smudges.
The next two pictures were taken full optical zoom through my binoculars. They're a little fuzzy. It's hard to hold everything still long enough to get good picture in such little light.
Thanks to my little sister for posting on her blog that this was coming up. I called her after I had taken the pictures to see if the moon was up in San Angelo yet and she had forgotten about it! Good thing I called her.
