Tonight's Lunar Eclipse (Feb 20 '08)  - Early Phase

This was shot around 6:30 PM PST when the moon was still low, in the mist layer. After that it rose into the cloud cover and there wasn't much to see here in the SF Bay Area. Canon 40D

    Beautiful! Yes, at 6:30 I was going into a class, and was thrilled at how beautiful the moon looked. Figured I'd take pictures after class, at 7:30. Unfortunately, it was completely covered up with clouds and fog by then!! (I'm also in the Bay Area.)

    Hey, well done. Our little island weather shot visibility in the back here in the UK, so I get to see it through your endeavour... thanks buddy.

    Yes! It's so good to see this. We were covered with smog from an inversion all day, then in the evening, clouds and an incoming snowstorm arrived :( So thanks for sharing!!!

    Again top notch stuff - I have a new screen now and can see so much more detail better to view your work with.
