Did you see it this morning? No!? I'm sorry, let me fill you in.
This was actually the first time I've used my telescope to do any photography. I'd been wanting a telescope to do photography for several years. Finally got one for this past Christmas. Then I go and get pregnant. So I have nasty morning sickness and low energy. But this is the best lunar eclipse we will see in these parts for several years. So my alarm went off at 12:30am and I got myself out of bed and got the telescope and camera set up. I didn't stay up for part two, the
uneclipsing. I figured at 3:30am that I had lost enough sleep and headed to bed. But not before I turned my 800mm
lens back into a telescope. Wish I could have photographed with the eye piece (it doesn't fit in my
adapter). It was amazing. The moon was so beautiful and you could see all these stars twinkling around it.
Definitely worth 3 hours of lost sleep. I hope to use
photoshop to make a sweet
composit. Maybe it will become my yearly photo donation to the Visible Grace Auction...
