Total Eclipse of the Moon — 9:30 to 11:55 pm
Last night at about this hour I had committed myself to be on a conference call, but although that was very interesting… I found myself drawn to what was happening in my back yard as Mother Earth cast her Wintery shadow far out into space. So I kept skipping out into the back yard, snapping pictures every 15 minutes or so, as the Moon's normal brilliance was obliterated by that shadow, bit by bit, until finally after a period of about 2 hours everything returned to normal again.

great work
Thanks for sharing; I was working and missed it.
What fun you must have had creating this composite of the eclipse we saw last night above the snowy cline. Great job and nice to have a record of this historic event. Wasn't the orange glow fabulous. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Nanci
