I am not much a star gazer, but I do enjoy looking at the beauty up there. Wednesday night was the Full Lunar Eclipse. This only happens every so often. The next one will be visible from the United States in 2010 (seems like a long way off, it’s not.) I figure I would seize the moment, freeze my butt off and take some pictures. I set up the tripod and pointed it toward the clears freezing skies. About every fifteen minutes I would go out and take a series of shots. The whole process took about three hours. The first shot was about 9 PM and the last one was about midnight. Sorry about the one that in portrait view, I wanted try something different.

Hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taken them.
Have a great weekend

The lunar eclipse was a zen like experience, no? Your photos are good enough to win an award, awesome Mr. C
I’m not sure about that, but thanks for the compliment
Bob, Great shots! What type of camera are you using? We had cloud cover here so I just gave up and went to bed even though I just purchased a new Rebel XT that day.
Too cold to watch the entire event so I appreciate your photos! Oh, and the link!
Bob – your pictures are amazing – thanks for sharing them with us – I agree with Carole – they are award winning!!
you and Rick NEED to get together…..he wanted me to do a post on the lunar eclipse and I told him unless he wanted to write it, I would pass. (He is a moon man)
Beautiful shots btw!
Thanks everyone stopping by…still dethawing.
Bob,
