    A quick couple of shots of it just taken here with our inexpensive camera. The telephoto feature was used on the first shot.

    It's even darker now. Last blood moon until 2033, they say.

    Saw it last night at about 10:30, but didn't bother to drag out the camera. It was pretty cool.

    Was pretty chilly in the NY suburbs, so pulled out the roadster and watched the whole 3-4 hours with the top down, heater and spa music on.. and eating a sandwich.

    Last time I spent the time to watch an eclipse was in the 1990s, so it was really cool.
