Default full moon

this doesn't have anything to do w/ mzs. Get outside tonight and look at the total eclipse of the moon, it will be total around 10:00pm. Next total eclipse is in 2010 (dec)

No such luck down this-a-way. Total overcast/light rain.

crystal clear here and COLD!! Its only -6º so far, but dropping fast... I've been watching it slowly cover. There is a slight hint of red in the covered part already. I have my heavy duty binoculars out, since I sold my telescope and then never bought the one telescope I really wanted... figures. I tried to take a picture of it with my digital camera, but I just do not have the lens to do it justice. I should have bought a better digital camera too I guess..

Gosh we are warm compared to all of you guys - but still Terry did not want to go outside and watch so she had me set up the spotting scope on a tri-pod in the kitchen sink - she turned out all the lights and is just sitting there watching... I have to go adjust the scope every once and awhile for her....

pick a city near you and you can then look at the stars and identify all of them. Tonight is the "blood moon." Its all red here, and the temperature has dropped to -12º already.. At least the wind is not bad. Or it would be cold out there..

Clear and getting cold here in southern Ohio tonight.
All I have for taking pics is a cheap 8x monocular/camera, but it's better than nothing!
