Solstice Eclipse
Fighting a head cold and clouds - I managed to get a few shots of last night's lunar eclipse. Taken through a Questar 3.5 with a Canon 5D Mark II. Exposure times were between 3.2 seconds and 8 seconds.

Hi David,
Art, Michael and I spent a lot of time on the patio watching this amazing eclipse last night. We thought of you often hoping you would do just as you did - - take an amazing shot of this wonder... thank you for sharing.
Fabulous!!!
Hi Dave-
Considering the clouds we had, the composite is very good! I mostly watched TV, but Melinda had fun with imaging the eclipse...

Sweet shots! Reminds me of the last one I watched from the 12m! :)
Dave, incredibly beautiful photos (as usual)! ;)
Thanks all. Tthe trick here was to have two cameras taking images every 30 seconds throughout the eclipse. Most images were compromised by clouds as you might imagine - but with 10 gigabytes of image data - you get lucky.
Nice eclipse shots. Especially like the last one - it shows the details of what the Earth's shadow looks like. While waiting for and watching the eclipse, I was imagining the giant cone of the Earths shadow projecting out into space.
