I crawled out of bed at 3:20 am to take these photos outside my apartment :-) Then crawled back in, still sleepy...
It turns out it is really difficult to find the right setting to capture the ecclipsed moon.... Either it was too slow and the moon would move blurring the picture, or it was too fast and it would under expose.... From about 30 photos I was able to save just a few.... I finished using my small Canon Powershot S2 IS since it has a great zoom and with it I was able to get more details. But since the zoom was part digital it did make the picture a bit pixelated. Nice colors, huh?

"The moon is red because our skies are blue" (the atmosphere filters the blue light so just the red light hits the moon during an ecclipse - it's cool to be a geek!!!)
