OK, Lunar Eclipse time!
The photo up above was taken the night before the eclipse. I rushed out and bought an adapter to attach my new Nikon D300 to my telescope. The above photo was taken as "practice." Little did I know that this photo would be the best one.

The above photo was taken from our roof with my 70-200mm lens. The moon wasn't yet visible from the backyard, where the telescope was lurking, ready to fire away at the eclipse.

Again, taken from the roof. The moon is not yet visible from the backyard.

Last one from the roof. The moon is just starting to become visible from the backyard.

Catastrophe! Just as I get the D300 attached to the telescope, the overcast moves in. This is the best photo that I could manage from the telescope. Within minutes, there's so much cloud cover that I can no longer focus.
Time to count the days to 2010 for the next eclipse!
